10.4: Copy and paste to/from the Calculator widget
Authored by: PeterDie on Sep 28, '06 12:57:54AM

Still, it's a shame the calculator still doesn't work as in the old pre-OsX days, (I've done it from sys 6.5 and upwards to 9) when you could copy from any text 15+23+36-6= and get the correct answer by pasting it in Calculator. It even gave a nice animation of high-speed pressed buttons. You could do pretty complex calculations with brackets too, if I remember correctly.

It always was the proof of perfect integration for all Windows users who cared to take a look at my Mac screen. But now, this simple trick does not work. In Calculator, the display shows all the numbers without the plusses, PCalc simply shows he the numbers in front of the first plus.

Anyway you calculate this, I think it's a loss.
