   Hi! Ed,   
      
   On Thu, 20 Mar 14, you wrote to me:   
      
    PQ>> other small libraries also: one on _simple_ (exotic -aka-   
    PQ>> foreign) recipes; and, the other on movie-related actors,   
    PQ>> characters & production people.   
      
    EV> So You know about imdb.com don't You?   
      
   Yep.  I've been there quite a few times.   
      
    EV> I like it for all the "Links" in a Shows Description for me to get   
    EV> more info on:   
      
    EV> 1. An Actor and other Shows they were in. OR   
    EV> 2. The Character Part they played and the Titles of the Shows they   
    EV>    appeared in.   
      
   Oh, yeah.  That's the single feature that has helped me in the past when I   
   just had a few minutes' search time.   
      
   OTOH, I favour going to Wikipedia for the task of keeping a PDF of available   
   information on people & things.  The format of Wikipedia pages are always: 1.   
   consistent; 2. concise; and, 3. in a printable form.  Roughly 98.9% of my PDFs   
   are from the Wikipedia.  The other ~1% are from various fan sites, or, from   
   the old version of the 'Badass of the Week' website.   
      
   BTW, my most favourite quote by John Wayne was (is?) at the Badass website: "I   
   would like to be remembered, well... the Mexicans have a phrase, 'Feo fuerte y   
   formal'.   
      
   Which means; he was ugly, strong and had dignity."   
      
    PQ>> ... We'll have fun fun fun till the sysop takes the Echo away.   
    EV> Or We'll have fun fun fun till the sysop takes the User away.   
      
   I bet you were called 'Bad Boy Ed' in grade school.  ;-)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
