Date Calculator...in Windows 7...Way Cool...

In the Facebook group, Technology for Genealogy, Michelle de la Chevrotiere-Eber pointed out that the calculator that's built into Windows 7 is genealogy friendly. I got curious and started clicking and Michelle has unearthed an interesting little item. So here are the instructions.

To display and use the date calculator:

1. Click the Start button, and select All Programs, Accessories, and then Calculator.  The Standard calculator displays.
   Other option...Click Start. In the Run field, enter calculator, and press the Enter key. 
2. Click the View tab. 
3. Select Statistics in the first group, and Date calculation in the third group. The calculator updates with a date calculation pane to the right. 
4. In the From field, enter the date mm/dd/yyyy or click the drop-down arrow and pick the date from the electronic calendar (button to the right of the field). 
5. In the To field, enter the date mm/dd/yyyy or click the drop-down arrow and pick the date from the electronic calendar (button to the right of the field).
6. Click the Calculate button. The system returns:
   --the difference in years, months, and weeks
   --the difference in total number of days

Today is my birthday and I've been alive 22,646 days...62 years. Since it's a computer, I'm assuming leap year days are included.

To return to the Standard calculator, select Standard and Basic from the View tab.

Alas, now I'm going to be clicking all night to see what else is there...
