Well, now to do the square root of the last answer, it takes a whole 4
keystrokes. To take the root of any other number, it would take 8 plus
the number of digits in your number. If ans automatically appeared, you
would have to get rid of it every time you typed the square root symbol.
Really pointless, but when you hit plus, it just assumes the answer as
the first operand. Then you have to type the second (Why doesn't it do
that automatically??? :)
