[G4] 2 + 2 = 4.000000001?

[k s d]

ditto..
2+2=4 here..  even tried to confuse it with 2+2-3+7-4 and I still got 4.   
:)

If you're typing 2+2 and you're getting 4.000000001 you'd be much better off 
not using it.

Sorry, no explanation here, but it's amazing the computer even starts up if 
it's not able to
accurately do simple math. There must be a logical explanation. I don't know 
anything about
scientific calculators, but is there a chance that something is on on the 
advanced calculator?
