    Love Wikipedia, and especially the folks who put the content together!

    One thing though, it get's damn slow sometimes.

    Wikipedia should either hook up with google on some webserving or

    Google should grab a nightly dump and set up pedia.google.com

    Ignore the idiotic slashdot articles about google trying to take things over and lock things up. Wikipedia is licensed to prevent that, but also to allow sharing, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed they take google up on their hosting offer sooner rather then later.

    Good luck!
