Okay. That's just what I happened to have installed OMM. I just meant that it seems that there are other ways to achieve a similar (albeit more limited) functionality to ML (and not necessarily in a web browser). Don't get me wrong, Peter. I don't mean to try and discourage you from pursuing this. It's probably worth doing even if nothing comes of it (learning experience and all that). I was just pointing out that from what I understood about ML, it didn't offer enough of a wow-factor for me to be all that interested in it. But, I do hope you can make something out of it that people will find useful and that other people won't find scary.

At least you're getting plenty of feedback. Granted, much of it may be in the form of furious battle-cries from two deadly foes locked in mortal combat, but it's still prety informative as well as entertaining. ;-}

Aaw c'mon, this has been fun! ;-}
