[Offtopic] Two downloads from microsoft

[Stephen Digby]

As a government school all class machines have the MS graphical calc that
comes with Student 2006.
For student home use I recommend http://ccalc.shanebweb.com/  for a clear
simple calculator where students can just type in calculations as command
lines and get answers/ copy & paste etc.

If you are running windows machines, here are two worthwhile downloads. One
is a new network-diagnostic for XP, and the other is a gem of a calculator,
and unit converter. For eg length, area, energy, currencies, power,
pressure, weight etc, and convert between appropriate units.

1, Calculator Plus <http://www.microsoft.com/download/>
and then search for the File: CalcPlus.msi Size: 476 KB 

2, Network Diagnostics for Windows XP
