Well, $500 x 1.333 = $666.50, but $500 x 1.333333 = $666.6665.  Using
exact math, $500.00 x 4 / 3 = $666.66666...  Don't blame Jobs calculaton.
Besides, I think Steve W. sold his HP calculator so he couldn't double
check Steve J.'s math.  Isn't that the story, Woz sold his calculator and
Jobs sold his VW bus?
