It is more colorful, that is if you are using a color PDA, and it does the calculations correctely.

The problem with the built in calculator is that 3*4+4*3 = 48 when it should be 24.
That is because Microsoft didn't think of a thing called precedence, i.e. you should do all the multiplications and divisions first.
jCalc will do this correctely.

Peramdas! If there are no parentheses, you MUST multiply all across first, then add. 3*4+4*3=12+12=24. Go back to school.

Actually 3*4+4*3=24 not 48!!!! To be 48 the equation MUST be written (3*4+4)*3=48. In the equation (3*4)+(4*3)=24 the parenthesis are optional.

Actually 3*4+4*3 = 48. What you're thinking is (3*4)+(4*3) = 24. So the calculator isn't really that bad at all.
