I mostly meant Cortana on a desktop PC.
But I am glad we could identify you, single user of Cortana on the planet.  We had been looking for you for months now.

I use the windows (7) calculator a lot to convert between hex and decimal and binary values, which is possible with one of the views of the windows calculator, but you once converted, you can only do integer operations in this programming view. For instance, if you convert 38 hex value to decimal, so 56, and wants to divide this one by 80 for any reason, it throws 0 instead of 0,7. You have to change the view to be able to perform the operation, which means copy and paste the previous result as the view change resets the calculator, and it drives me mad.

You could use the MS swap modes and then press then MR button, its a bit easier, maybe.

Hey Cortana, compute to the last digit the value of Pi.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

It sometimes helps to simply write things down : I came across Calculator "Plus", which has not the restriction, and overwrote the calc.exe file.
Thanks for indirectly pointing me in the right direction

install the XP calculator. Its far better.
|
|

|

It's basically the "plus" version I've just installed, see my post above.
Indeed far better. Why did I wait that long before looking out for something better...

Does there exist a "Moose" too?
synonym of Mouse may be??
|
|
|
|

I first thought it looks like a mouse, but the two identical characters didn't fit...
...so I went for "moose"...It's an animal too, but doesn't look like a mouse. Except the letters reminded me of "mouse"

Indeed there is. The famous Burns poem to a "Wee, sleekit, cow'rin, tim'rous beastie", is entitled "Tae a Moose". The Scots spelling is still good in SNP Land.
