Calculate yourself into a better future

I was checking out some online Investment Calculators at iloancalculator.com and so now I shall give a bit of a review.

The first I checked out was the simple loan calculator looks very nice at first but after playing with it for a bit it is a bit buggy. The needle graphs seem to be accurate for a moment and then go out of whack. I think once you let go of the slider being dragged they are more accurate. It is excessively difficult to fine-tune the sliders. Say I want to set the term to 48 months, I can get it to 46 or 52 but not right on 48. This would be more easily achieved by using click with mouse while pressing the left or right arrow keys for making smaller adjustments.

The Accelerated Mortgage Payoff Calculator the same as the previous looks great at first but this one seems even worse due to the graphical intensity I believe. While adjusting the sliders in this calculator my mouse cursor disappeared and took a few moments to reappear. As soon as the blue bar images are resized the mouse comes back. This is not something that should be happening on a 3Ghz P4 with 1GB DDR2 memory. I am not able to give any feedback on the accuracy of this calculator due to the issues I have experienced.

Oh and a Become a Millionaire Calculator. That is something I have been drawing out on paper for years. It is very cool to see it for the first time in a graphical chart. Although the same sorts of issues apply with all the calculators I have tried the idea is solid and it will give you a general idea of what you are looking at for each without a doubt. I am assuming they may not be intended. I love the idea and I am sure I will go back to check out some of the other calculators they have.
