I think we can cut out the unsubstantiated Microsoft bashing (this isn't
Slashdot). X11 is just as difficult to use without a mouse. Windows 2000
is still my OS of choice for a general desktop (XP has major problems). On
decent hardware it is rock solid, fast and visually looks good. And for the
record, I use both Windows and Linux (Blackbox currently being my window
manager of choice) on a daily basis (separate machines, no dual booting).
Sure, Microsoft has a lot of bad products, but they also have a lot of good
ones. I love my Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro.

If you want a database with a web interface, let me know and I'll make one.
Josh's site has hundreds (thousands?) of calls documented, and you could
enter them if you like. Let me know what fields are necessary. Probably
something like:
calc
name
alternate name
address
description

Some of us do :)

Not really. Especially since that's one of the things my employer does :)
