KCalc says: 44 + 1 =3D 45 and that: 45 + 1 =3D 46.00000000000000710542735760100185871124 Last time I checked 45 + 1 =3D 46, but I haven't kept my math skills up to date so I could be wrong. I'm trying to check the math for a probe I'm sending to a planet in the alpha centauri system, It would suck if it got all the way to alpha centauri but missed the planet. ;-) CPU: P4 2.26Ghz 512KB L2-Cache, 533MHz FSB, mPGA478 Mainboard: Intel D845GBV Desktop Board PROD.
