Check out the Calculator in 7b44

[StarBuck]

I'm not to sure if anyone has posted this yet?

But you a few options to convert currency and energy or work, have a look at the picture.

Also sleep does not work on a 12" laptop when you wake it the machine comes to life but no screen. If you plug in a external screen the screen appears on the monitor but not on the LCD.

for be it from me to rain on the parade but you could convert currency, energy and work ever since jag

 

[fryke]

and sleep works just fine on my 12" iBook, so what you probably mean is a 12" TinyBook, specifically.

 

[Go3iverson]

I never bothered looking at calculator besides for a quick little nothing...wish I knew this when I was trying to find a conversion the other day!

 

[StarBuck]

Yep the 12" G4 laptop on a positive note the ical now syncs with my P800

they need to add converters that allow you to convert bits to bytes, bytes to megabytes, etc

 

[Racer D]

anyone checked the "TopCalculette Pro" you got on Applications cd with your mac? (I got it with 15" iMac, september 2002, OS X 10.1.5) It can do all types of conversions and update currencies...

 

[Arden]

No...

I really like the Google calculator. It's so easy to use, and it recognizes a wide variety of input, everything from "2 + 2" (= 4) to "2.35 terabytes in gigabits (= 19 251.2 gigabits). Wonderful tool. It's built into Safari, remember?

Aren't you joking? It's easy to do that:
Byte to Kilobyte and such:
X*1024
Kilobyte to Byte and such:
X/1024
Bit to Byte and such:
X/8
Byte to bit and such
X*8

Most conversions are a multiplication/division calculation though (lb to kg etc - teh exception being temperature, because fahrenheit doesn't start at zero) - the trick is just remembering what the factor is.

1024 is easier to remember than most - but still, I think it was a valid point.

Today, right now.

Press the big "Update Currency Rates" button on the left.

 

[Arden]

Yeah, it's easy to get lost or skip a digit when you're trying to convert several gigabytes into kilobytes.

 

[theed]

well, perhaps I won't continue my development of Calc Thingy. Google once again takes my breath away. And the default calculator is getting to be a lot less stupid than the the throwaway one they used to put in.

What I love about Google is that it has maybe nine links on the front page at most. A wonderful example of the "Keep It Simple, Stupid" theory.

LOL! I love Google, they're such an interesting, inventive tech company... I never noticed that, or the "Ehwmer Fudd" mode...
