Here's the original Macrumors thread, you will find the brushless graphite texture somewhere in there. along with a hideous green and purple skin. But you gotta hack the widget package yourself
I never quite figured out the C and CE key, even on a regular casio calculator. i never trusted the C, i always liked 'soft rebooting' the calculator by bashing the CE key or whatever master clear button five times before starting on my math problem again.
GRRR i hated high school math. if it was more tied in to computer science or art (eg perspective, geometry, 3d graphics) it would have been way more fun.
or even better, if it was tied in to personal finance and business, so we can actually USE this shit to make MONEY...!!
but no... damn British bullocks educational systems..!!
Now if someone could only write a calculator that uses reverse polish notation (RPN- Enter key with no equal sign). I'm forever warped using HP calculators for the last 3 decades. I use a normal calculator and I mess up every other attempt.

i also hated all my 'graphing calculator' excercises in high school... now if we had Grapher on Mac OS X, way different story heh

Sheesh - there should be an RPN calculator out there SOMEWHERE. Have you checked VT and MacUpdate? Or the Widgets sites?

Assume you are calculating 15*1.02*175.
15
*
1.02
*
185 (mistake)
CE clear entry - clears only the "185"
175
=

never happy... tsk tsk tsk
apparently RPN is more important than separate CE & C keys

Try typing in a simple calculation and screwing up the last of (oh, lets say) three entries. CE rules! Where is it, Apple?

When did that happen?
One big slap upside my head.
Big thank you for pointing that out. Sometimes you just have to love these fora.
