My calculator supports integers - and not with a second integer
button, I just set the mode and it all works happy. I think it has
separate modulo and remainder functions as well - but the battery died
five years ago and I don't really remember.

At school, I once took a calculators test despite having forgot my
calculator that day. I finished in half the time anyone else did, and
was the only person to get a perfect result.

Intellectual decline is not what it used to be ;-) - apparently the
avarage childs IQ these days (I forget the exact age range) is around
120. Must it's all the TV and video games ;-)
