Most of this has been sprinkled throughout the existing thread. Maybe what we need is a way to organize it. Something like a bugzilla which would allow people to comment on existing subjects or add their own might be a good way to make sense of it all. After all, there would be a flood of comments if we all mentioned our uses for it, and a lot of <aol>me too</aol>. There will be lots of users who are thinking along the same lines, so lots to read through, which makes it tough to sort-out the high-points. Maybe a voting system for said bugzilla-ish page would also be good? --Eric
