Interesting article, and kudos to Boehm for going the extra mile(s), but it seems like overkill to me.
I wouldn't expect, or use, a calculator for any calculation requiring more accuracy than the number of digits it can display. I'm OK with with iPhone's 10^100 + 1 = 1e100.
If I really needed something better, I'd try Wolfram Alpha.
