    My dad got a euro convertor calculator in the post for some reason (assume they're being given out for free)

    This thing is really handy and I'm sure y'all know the one I'm talking about.

    Anyone have any idea where I get one just like it?

    I got one a few weeks ago, AFAIK everyone house in the country gets one, and they're free
    I think they're brillant(for the women :p )
    I am not too sure if people are alowed to get multiable ammounts of them.. check out the post offices or banks maybe for one of them?

    Get Currency Converter Pro for yout PC - for all your Euro conversion needs :)http://niall.okeeffe.com/cconpro/

    Okay, so the setup program doesnt create a start menu group properly in NT/2000 - but the program does the job.

    And yes, it's only one per household, apparently. (And one per business, which is a bit silly in pubs or clubs that have a lot of tills / transaction points)

    I've updated the Currency Converter Pro program a wee bit - made slight interface tweaks and fixed it so that the Installer SHOULD work properly and create a program group on the Start Menu in Windows NT, 2000 or XP. The file you have to download is now also smaller (only 689Kb).

    Currency Converter Pro 2002 (version 3.5) is now available at http://niall.okeeffe.com/cconpro/download.html ...

    Cheers,

    Wonder if berties cousin twice removed makes calculators (or candles) :)

    Anyways i think there're great, but not as useful as that little card you get from AIB which shows you pounds if you look one way and euros the other... perfect for the lazy git ;)

    Eh, does anybody else not think this was a total waste of tax payers money. Why the hell did they just send one to every house without even asking if we wanted them. Surely they could have just made them available to people who wanted them, while the rest of us who can do basic arithmetic in our heads (or already have a calculator, or don't care anyway) would rather what it cost us in the first place. So much unnecessary blurb about the Euro too. It's not like people need a handbook everytime they buy some sterling and go to england on holidays. Eh thats my euro-rant anyway :)
