Calculator on your computer
I know most of us only need a calculator or a pen and paper to calculate mileage but I just found this and thought it was an interesting feature to add in. Go to the calculator app on your PC and go to the View drop down menu then go to Worksheets and you will see one for mpg or l/100km as well as vehicle lease.
Just something I found on my computer the other day and thought I would point it out.

You are right! There are both MPG and l/100km worksheets. Nice

Then it is time to upgrade! Remember, XP's End Of Life is May 2014. Here at work we are upgrading or getting rid of all of our XP computers.

My work involves the manufacture of the highest tech computer chips, but we still haven't phased out Windows 3.11 entirely. Vista was skipped entirely and Windows 8 will likely be skipped as well.
Neat to see an interest rate payment tool in there too. Good find OP! |

Everybody, please hit "Thanks" for tayjo22. I use the calculator so much that I just put it in my startup folder. Just the other day I calculated mortgage payments and that knowledge would have saved me some time.

Well thanks! I didn't think the find would be that well received but I appreciate it.
