Comment and replies on nonpareil-15c:
This is the HP-15C Scientific Calculator that I used in my premedical studies back in the mid-to-late 1980's and to this very day. The vintage HP RPN calculators opened my mind to an entirely new way of approaching even the most complex equations, without the hassle of parentheses and brackets. The order of operations make much more sense when using an HP RPN calculator. In addition to offering the 15C, there are numerous other vintage HP calculators available ported to Mac OS X. I am currently using the Nonpareil HP-15C on Leopard 10.5.1 and it works perfectly! Press ON and you are ready to crunch some numbers.

You're gone. Links are now dead-ends. Please update your widget links ... I love this widget, but am still using only 1.0.

Salient Features:

Definitely worth $20 USD to me. I am a physician in Internal Medicine and Critical Care. Chemistry is the foundation of all medical knowledge.

Comment and replies on Lemkesoft FontBook:
version 4.5 does not work in Leopard. Mounting the .dmg presents a very ominous warning message about system corruption. Leopard users will have to wait for Thorston Lemke to update this little gem of an application. I have also asked him to support scroll wheel mice in his next version.
