I'm sure many of you have noticed that the Calculator app in Jaguar now has an Advanced mode that gives it scientific calculation functions. There's also a "Paper tape" option on the calculator that keeps a log of your operations.

More interesting (to me) is a brand new, "Convert" menu. It handles all sorts of length, pressure and temperature type things, but also currency. The currency rates can be kept up to date, using some sort of exchange rates server on the Internet. To use the conversion menu, first enter a value in the calculator, then select the relevant conversion.

Jaguar is getting better and better the more I use it!
