{Really stuipid} Computer question!

[LubeDude]

So how do you open the numbers section on the right of the keyboard to use the computer as a calculator? <br /><br />This is really dumb. I know, but I have never thought about it before! I mean, a computer can add and subtract, right?

OK, we are getting there, what if I want to use the keys and not the mouse to calculate. When I go to calculator, I have to use the mouse.

Even quicker<br /><br />Hold the windows key down (that is the key with the symbol of MS windows usually near the ALT key)<br /><br />then hit the R key<br /><br />that brings up the run window<br /><br />Tomatolord

Or if you're planning on using it alot, just head to programs, accessories, Calculator and right click on Calculator and hit send to desktop(Create Shortcut). Then drag it down off the desktop to the taskbar for quick access...

You can also buy a 3 dollar calculator at Walgreens and avoid using the computer altogether.
