(85)Am I insane?

I was performing some conversions from Celsius to Kelvin.   Usually I
simply add the value "273" to my celsius scale for the conversion.  I
happened to have been in the CONV screen and used the TEMP conversion
Here is what happens:


5 C->K   . . . =  278.15
1 C->K   . . . =  274.15
0 C->K   . . . =  273.15
So far so good right but check this out!!!!


do this:
-1 C->K   . . . = -274.15 (negative 274.15 mind you!!!)
-5 C->K   . . . = -278.15
-0 C->K   . . . = -273.15 (???!!??!?!??!)


Yeah no big deal but is the a bug?  Is this old news?  It really does
not affect my mathematical performance in Temp conversion but thought
I'd share with the TI community.
