A bit off topic from the thread, but it could be useful: in these  
days I don't use anymore the calculator (application or widget), I  
use instead Launchbar coupled with Google.
I just invoke a google search from launchbar and type there my  
formula and the result "magically" appears on a webpage. This is much  
faster than opening calculator and start typing or dialing the formula.
To go back in topic: google calculator works as the tiger calculator  
(28.05 + 15%=28.2) :(
