> Multiple calculators

I missed multiple calculators by default as in Windows. I found a simple Apple Script accessed with 'mcalc' that made this a bit easier for me.

  do shell script "/Applications/Calculator.app/Contents/MacOS/Calculator -background >&/dev/null&"

Thank you!

I use multiple calculators for quick reference and when testing various implementations of my work, and was baffled that Apple explicitly stopped my from doing that with their stock calculator.app

try

   open -n /System/Applications/Calculator.app

works for me
