If this can be duplicated on another MacOS X box?

I think you've found a "BUG" man...



* Check it out w/ other MacOS X users & see if this is the case on their rigs also... & if so, report it to the Apple folks maybe?

probabily, i can't understand why so much ppl like mac's, i was told they we're better in gfx work (autocad, etc.) with the old IBM cpu's, but now they still have the fame, and are using Intel cpu's like most laptops do, and don't forget they are overpriced

Don't understand why a software bug makes macs useless for work related stuff..

Maybe linux isn't useful either, as its bug count is much more apparent...

Or maybe windows?


Be glad its a calculator bug, not a kernel bug
