Here is a handy version made for "off-line" use. It's a mod for PocketMod.
The PocketMod is a new way to keep yourself organized. Lets face it, PDAs are too expensive and cumbersome, and organizers are bulky and hard to carry around. Nothing beats a folded up piece of paper.
The forums seem to be down for the moment, but here is link to the resistor calculator mod.
Hey PT,
You should have the MakeBot do resistor calculations too.
Like maybe:
input: "resistor 220"
response: "red-red-brown"
input: "resistor 10k 5%"
response: "brown-black-orange-gold"
input: "resistor green-blue-yellow-silver"
response: "560k 10%"
Here's my favorite resistor color code page:

I like its interface best, and you can choose 4,5, or 6 band codes. But it only works as a reader: you pick the colors, it gives you a value.
You might be intersted in this OSX Dashboard Widget by Nicholas Zambetti: Resistulator
It calculates the value of a resistor from the sequence of colored bands painted on the resistor. It also displays the corresponding color sequence when a resistor value is entered.
