I was setting up a new television for the museum the other day and I was joking with the receptionist if she had some rabbit ears, she could watch Young and the Restless. She laughed and said true, but rabbit ears won’t work past February as the...

As I mentioned before, Microsoft made several changes to the applications that have come with Windows since the 3.1 days. Every Wednesday for the next couple of weeks, I’ll highlight the changes to the built-in applications. The first application I’ll highlight will be the calculator.
