RedCrab Calculator
RedCrab is a scientific calculator with a full screen formula editor. The mathematical expressions are not typed in a typical command line, but can be entered in an editor window similar to a piece of paper. The calculator displays the result either under or next to the expression. The handling is easier than a conventional calculator. Its editor supports the entry of complex algebraic equations like fractions, square roots, exponents, etc. for technical and scientific applications. Several mathematical functions can be written on the same page. Results from one expression can be carried over to the next task. You can also save and load the formulas to create a library of formulae. Calculation range: 1.7e 308 to 5e-324; Accuracy: 18 digits; and Display : 15 digits. RedCrab Calculator also enables explanation of complex tasks visually by importing drawings in bitmap format.

Joke of the day
A lawyer's dog, running around town unleashed, heads for a butcher shop and steals a roast. The butcher goes to the lawyer's office and asks, "if a dog running unleashed steals a piece of meat from my store, do I have a right to demand payment for the meat from the dog's owner?" The lawyer answers, "Absolutely."
"Then you owe me $8.50. Your dog was loose and stole a roast from me today."
The lawyer, without a word, writes the butcher a check for $8.50. The butcher, having a feeling of satisfaction, leaves.
Three days later, the butcher finds a bill from the lawyer: $100 due for a consultation.
