Hidden features in OS X 10.3 calculator

Mac OS X Panther (10.3.2)
Hidden capabilities in the Panther Calculator

* Navigate to where the Calculator is installed (likely the Applications folder.)
* Control click the application and select 'Show Package Contents.'
* Navigate to Contents/Resources in the Calculator Contents. In this folder you will find:
ExpressionSheet.calcview
Graphing-2D.calcview
Hexadecimal.calcview
* Move these to the Contents/Plugins folder

Start the calculator and behold; 2d graphing, an expression worksheet mode, and a hexadecimal calculator with boolean operations.

Still not as neat as the little known OS 9 graphic calculator, but impressive nonetheless.
