What else do you need in such a cheap application ?

I add 3 plus 2 "message text" just for fun.

I don't. Who needs digits ? I did *not* say I wrote a calculator with
memory, history and percentage. ;)

5 to be precise.

Approx. 7 lines, which can be copied 4 times and modified to +, -, * and /

This was done on a 350MHz (yep!) G4 and I have around 4 witnesses because
I demonstrated how easy it was to make such an application from scratch
on Mac OS X with the "free" development kit!
Funny, these guys didn't know anything about programming, but they were
following me while I was doing this, and it appeared to me that they
understood everything.


Love,
Jens
