sorry that wasn't nice
but I don't know what to tell you my mac can do math did you buy the optional imath program?
Ok Ok I can't help myself are you running 10.3?
 
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 :banghead:

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

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 ;)
