Hi, all.
As a result of reading a bit of Jef Raskin's "The Humane Interface", I
thought I would suggest this feature.
Making a simple numerical calculation with a computer is a pain.
Paraphrased:
If you are writing a document and need to quickly find something, like
the individual price of a product, given a total quantity and a total
price, you need to: a) locate and run the calculator program or b)
switch to your desk calculator.
A cool feature would be to highlight the arithmetic string, open up
a context menu and select calculate, replacing the string with the
answer.
