The windows calculator is a really handy tool, especially for
programmers. I have a quicklink to it, and its always in
scientific notation. For WindowsXP users, get the Windows XP
powertoys. It comes with PowerToy Calculator that is comparable
to some of the high-end HP and TI calcs. It graphs, does tons of
conversions (weither, length, mass), can create user definable
functions, etc.
