I put the calculator on the dock. It wasn't opening when I tried clicking on it so I removed it from the dock. It went up in a puff of smoke and now I can not find it other than on the dashboard. How do I get it back? Can you tell I have only been using a Mac for about 5 hours now?
 
There is nothing in the trash and spotlight is not finding it.
 
You may have deleted it. You say your new to mac. Only a few hours of use. I remember when I was new. I screwed up my mac pretty good. Trying to be smart and deleting files I thought were unnecessary.

You might want to play around with it for a few days. Get your self comfortable with it. Then do a fresh install.

If I deleted it, wouldn't it not be on the dashboard either? Or is that different?

Is there a way of getting it back if I did delete it short of doing a fresh install?

Yes, I'm sure you can just select "calculator" in optional installs.

The dashboard calculator is totally different.
 
What am I doing wrong? When I hit the download link it just keeps bringing me to this page.
