What is Works: Definition and 447 Discussions

Microsoft Works was a productivity software suite developed by Microsoft and sold from 1987 to 2009. Its core functionality included a word processor, a spreadsheet and a database management system. Later versions had a calendar application and a dictionary while older releases included a terminal emulator. Works was available as a standalone program, and as part of a namesake home productivity suite. Because of its low cost ($40 retail, or as low as $2 OEM), companies frequently pre-installed Works on their low-cost machines. Works was smaller, less expensive, and had fewer features than Microsoft Office and other major office suites available at the time.

    How Does Modulus Calculation Aid in Solving Exponential Equations?

    o:) hi, this is me again.i was wondering if you could teach me how to do these 2 questions (?) means to the power of 1)a)find the remainder when 7(100) (I.E 7 TO THE POWER OF 100) is divided to the power of 25( i know that you are supposed to use mod10 or mod25 or something, but...

    How can you explain how a balance works vectorially?

    you have a balance with 1kg weight in each 1 meter long arm when its horizontal each 10 N force * 1 m long will balance so the balance won't move but when you lean the balance 45º the vertical force will be cos 45 * 10 N in each arm so the balance should stay in that position since the...

    How a Photocell Works - Ben's Question

    I was wondering if anyone is able to tell me how a photocell works and why results for voltage versus current change the way they do. In particular i am looking for why the current increases rapidly at the start as voltages slightly increase, and then a flattening out occurs, i.e. the current...

    I dont understand how conditional probabilty works

    so P(A|B) = P(A intersect B)/ P(B). so, P(A intersect B) is the same as P(A) * P(B) right? so doesn't the P(B) always cancel out, and the answer will always be P(A)? That doesn't makes sense at all... :confused: for example: A family has 2 children, and all possibilites are equally...
