PostTue Nov 16, 2004 5:27 am    Microsoft: Oops!

I just downloaded the Microsoft Advanced Calculator from microsoft. It has lots of nice conversions, like area, distance, currency...I was looking at the currency calculator, and noticed...NO DOLLAR! All kinds of stuff, lire, shilling, euro...NO DOLLAR! Funny stuff.

That's a big Opps! Is it just missing the American Dollar, or the New Zealand and Australia dollar as well?

Prorbably no one since Microsoft is American, so use the dollar that doesn't exist. So they won't be getting money, And the � is the best currency,

But of course we all know why . . . this is just more evidence of their planned economic collapse of the dollar, they will replace it with Microbucks or something inane . . .
