As an avid fan of shiny things, I decided that I just *had* to get my grubby hands on a copy of Windows 7. I really like it. It’s very shiny and has lots of shiny new shiny things to keep the shiny loving people all shiny and happy.

One of the new (well, I guess updated really) shiny things in Windows 7 is the shiny calculator, which now lets you do lots of clever calculations, such as:

  • Calculating your mortgage payments
  • Calculating your fuel economy
  • Lots of different unit conversions
  • And many more shiny things

(Obviously, you could do these calculations before, but now, you don’t have to try to remember the formula, or do lots of interim calculations.)

Anyway, one of the shiny things in the calculator is the ability to calculate the difference between 2 dates. As a shiny thing lover, I had to try this out to find out how many days old I was.

Turns out that I’ve already gone through the 10000 day barrier and didn’t even notice.

Not sure how useful this really is in the grand scheme of things, but I liked it.
