how to lock up your windows calculator

Post by Muzozavr » Tue May 08, 2007 1:21 pm

1. Copy the word "apple" with no quotes.
2. In calculator, switch to oct.
3. Paste it.
4. The calculator displays "Invalid input for function" and then ceases to function. The only way to remedy it is to restart the calculator.
Rest in peace, Kym. I hardly knew ya.
Rest in peace, Marinus. A bright star, you were ahead of me on my own tracks of thought. I miss you.

In Win XP SP2, my calculator stops reacting at anything else except the close button.

In mine, it stops reacting until I press the Close Button OR the C and CE buttons, I didn't test backspace though :P

In the Plus edition of the calculator, it's just freezes.
