I see your point, but has anybode ever tried to implement the calculator
the way
I suggested? I mean, it's not that I say these things because it's fun
for me. I
"observed" friends with almost no computer experience (and some with normal
experience) using the WinXP calculator with the mouse at first (clicking
those
digits...) and quickly getting *angry* because that's too ineffective. They
*always* switched to the keyboard. Those digit buttons cry "click me!", but
that won't make you happy. :)
I think that there is nothing lost if we remove those buttons. The
interface
will look a lot cleaner and the user will quickly grasp that he should
use the
numbers on his keyboard (and be happy ;).
Sure - a lot of people will use the keyboard because it's both easier
and faster. Sounds to me that Stephan's idea is best - being able to
hide the buttons if you don't want them and being able to show them for
beginners. Then we can both be happy. :)
