I got fed up with all these complicated calculators and re-implemented the original Mac calculator desk accessory at https://CalculatorDA.com https://CalculatorDA.com. It does the simple things I need while giving me a nice nostalgia buzz.

A fun story about how that original Mac calculator came to look the way it did: https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?story=Calculator_Construction_Set.txt https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?story=Calculator_Const...

  Thanks! That story was part of my inspiration. I gave my Calculator DA a lot of visual toggles in the View menu so you can find your way to the look that makes you happy, like Steve did.

I have been carrying around a copy of the Windows XP calculator ever since Microsoft decided that nobody can do both decimal values and decimal <-> hex <-> binary conversion without having to go through a menu to change modes. With the XP calculator, I use F5-F8 as shortcut keys for changing bases whenever I want. The Windows 10 calculator doesn't even do anything with those keys in scientific mode.
