I did what you suggested. Take another look, and tell me if you were a potential customer, would you purchase something?

No. For one thing I can (if I didn't already have one) buy a "real" calculator for $1.00. Also my WIndows op sys comes with a calculator with much more capabilities.

Also, seeing your screenshots leads me to suspect that the programs are character mode rather than providing a GUI.  This would be a turn off to most computer users.

One marketing clue - tell me how the program will benefit me. All I see is that it will take more work to do a calculation than using a "real" calculator. I think there is no benefit.

I say these things not to discourage you but to encourage you to find ways to give customers something they need/want and can't get some other way or as nice or as cheap or as fun or .... IOW if I'm to spend $10 I want some real benefit.

Think about why McDonald's is successful. Why people will spend $ for food that is not outstandingly good.

How do you find an equivalent benefit for software users?
