Agree completely. Old school calculator is wrong, but why? Pemdas wasn't really big in school curriculums until around the turn of the century, but the order of operations existed at the previous turn of the century, and should operate correctly on every digital calculator ever made...

No, it's right. The e-calculator is wrong.

Yes, they should - welcome to what happens when programmers don't bother checking their Maths is correct when writing a calculator app (hence why I wrote the thread I linked to above).
