I still like using my scientific calculator for electronics
calculations.

I misplaced my calculator one day and decided to try out Windows Xp
built in calculator..
What a pita moving the mouse around to each button.

How come there's no PC keyboards with scientific buttons like handheld
calculators??
(I didn't notice any at Future shop .)

Heck...My PC works with multiple keyboards...
Anybody seen a scientific keyboard + software..?
I want SIN COS and TAN buttons damn it! :)

I do use Mathematica and Excel on occasion but I'm lazy to learn hot
keys and don't like gaming style mousing for little calculations.

Anybody using a scientific calculator with a USB connection?

Wouldn't it be cool to do this...

Make a calculation on the USB calculator...
1.34*10E-4 Amps squared * 4.87ohms = blah
(Format for 2 decimal places)
Then press one button (on the handheld calculator) which pastes from
the clipboard into a schematic program or sim program.

So I click on each part..punch in some calculations...paste..
Next part..calc calc calc ..paste
Next part ...calc calc calc ..paste

Yeah, cool, but where are you going to source the 4.87ohm resistor
from?
And how does the program know you are dealing in ohms?
