Hiya all
First, the problem that I have had with using spotlight for typing Gensones is
that if you pause for very long at all, it starts telling the answer before you
got it all typed in. This is just the way the program is.
As for reading the answer in calculator, I was able to get it to work.
I can say I'm on an n D A, and what version I'm on, but I can't disclose any
specific information regarding the actual software itself.
On that note, I'm not responding to this thread any longer. I'll feed the
trolls what they don't want! as someone from the late 60's says: Silence is

Hi
Also you can do command space to bring up spotlight and type your sum in there,
if it's not too complicated.
Cheers
