Greetings!

I went to convert a temperature today, and my 85 insisted that -10C is -50F,
which, if you think about it for a moment, is clearly wrong.  Here is what
my 85 tells me:

1C > F = 33.8
0C > F = 32
-1C > F = -33.8

33.8F > C = 1
32F > C = 0
-33.8F > C = -1

Now the kicker:

-1C > K = -274.15 (!!!)  Now THATS cold!

WTF is up with my calc?  Can any one reproduce these results.
This is a ROM version 8.0 calc.

You people are still using *computers*?  I just whistle into mu phone
at 56Kbps, doing the compression, decoding the images, and running the
Java programs all in my head.
PGP encryption does slow me down a bit though...
