Yep. It is called google. Go there, and enter the keyword "define:" and then place the term or word right after it. It does a pretty good job of providing defs. > It'd also be cool to have a utility that skimmed the emails as they came > into the LUGOD list, and turned the names of these 'products' into > hyperlinks to the dictionary? I don't think I would find it helpful. It would take longer to process and send e-mail messages. Besides, consider a message on "ssh" where it is mentioned several times in an e-mail message, and several URL are created. Also, consider this: This list is primarily TEXT only, and HTML is frowned upon. Adding URL as embedded data within a message would cause the message to get cluttered. > What do you all think...would something like this be useful? Useful to some, but not worth the cost to me. _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
