Why don't the touch scopes have a calculator app?

I became one a few weeks ago after I read Ubik.

Yes, that's one of my favourites - he has written so much good stuff that it's hard to pick an overall best.  I discovered PKD when I was about 12, which has probably destroyed my mind permanently - no idea how I processed his writing at that age, but something clicked!

Welcome to the club.

I was staying at a monastery for a weekend and I'd whimsically bought a copy of Ubik from a bargain bin a couple of days before. I read the whole thing while I was there (there's no test gear to play with in a monastery).

When I was younger I'd read a book to the very end no matter what. That doesn't happen these days, I'm quite happy to say "meh" and not finish one. I couldn't put Ubik down. It was completely unexpected from start to finish, like, "Where could this possibly go from here...?"

Going back to the original question...

The math channel on my new Micsig lets me type in arbitrary expressions, eg. "2+3" or "sqrt(2)".



You can the show the result using the on-screen measurements:
