Apps

I tried the Google application, and posted a 1 sentence document to my blog. My life is too boring to need many of these applications, but I see the advantage of having your documents not tied to any one machine. Storage space must be getting really cheap.
This is my text document using Google Docs & Spreadsheets.

I've spent some time looking at Biblio.com. Lots of interesting books that I would love to have but can't afford. It was fun just looking at the pictures of the books. It was easier to browse the site than to use the advanced search. I tried an author search, but it was "oring" the first and last names rather "anding" so there was lots of extraneous material. I managed to get around it by adding a keyword. This might be a convenient place for libraries looking for out of print or rare books.
