Not better when you don't have access to the net. I'll keep my often used utilities resident on my computer where I know they'll be available when needed. YMMV.


True Doug.

One of the reasons I've asked Mrs Santa for the Practical Math Dictionary from Duluth Trading.

Didn't get it for Christmas, but Father's Day is coming up.... maybe I need to hint a little better. whistle

I think a lot of folks forget what its like offline. Air travel, for those of us who do it a lot, is a cone of digital silence. Well, mostly. some in flight wi fi out there now, sadly.

I love to escape the PC.
A flight is a great excuse to relax or read or just zone out... no more wi-fi!! HaHa!

Good point. If Google goes down, a lot of IT people are going to be lost. No reference!

I do not have one now, but I did have a wallet sized metric conversion chart. Of course, some of us younger people aren't very good at math in our heads.

Do any of those do trig functions? I'm building a set of stairs, for the first time, and I could really use a set of trig tables.
