Spotlight is my calculator
mrgan:
I rarely need to calculate anything mathematically complex, but I often reach for the computer to do the sort of calculation you run into when doing layout design: split 760 pixels into 3 columns with even gutters; or, figure out what the left margin of a 215-px-wide element should be to center it inside a 490 px container.
Now, I’ll be the first to agree that you don’t need a calculator...
