Amazing, yet true. Several months ago, I spent a bit of time searching for a decent converter program. Or would it be a conversion program? Whatever, a program to convert things to other things. No, I don’t mean like converting lead to gold, though such could probably be found on eBay. I don’t remember what I wanted to convert at the time. Maybe square feet to acres, or something like that. I found a couple of progs to do what I wanted, and quit searching. Tonight, I was searching for something to calculate download time from file size. I had a web page I saved from somewhere that did it, but decided to look around some more. And I found Microsoft’s “Calculator Plus”. It’s a replacement for the plain calculator MS gives you with Windoze. And it’s actually pretty cool. Besides calculator stuff (standard and scientific), it does conversions, including feet to chains. Doesn’t do rods, though, but everybody knows there’s 4 rods to a chain. Here’s the link, if anybody’s interested.
It doesn’t do download times, though. However, it does currency exchange, which may be of interest to those who get up too early in the morning.
