I was an APL consultant for four years, mainly for international IBM shops. It was indeed a wonderful, symbolic, naturally cryptic ( warning: big gif of the non-ASCII charset ) language, delightful to use ( once you really grokked it ) just because of the amazing power of its one-liners...:-)

I think the main problem is that when I have both IE and Mozilla installed, there's no easy way to have both "Open in IE" and "Open in Mozilla" in the context menu for an html file.
I use a File Extensions Editor ( there are many around, like ZDNET MenuEdit. It's an old freeware, but still works for me. ) to manually add the context itens I need for each file type.
For instance, right-clicking on an HTM/HTML file on my system yelds this:

and the third party software isn't worth the price for me.
I use EasyCalc. It's a wonderful, souped-up, graphic Palm calculator, released under the GNU Public License...:-)
Normal, Scientific and Engineering floating point mode
All functions you would find on normal scientific calculator
Unlimited number of variables and functions
Graph support
GuessIt function - it tries to find out, what the result means,
like "pi/2", "e^(3/4)" and "47/23".
Integer operations (unsigned 32bit), conversions between Bin/Oct/Oct/Hex
Function solving through fzero' with three parameters - min,max and function, it solves the function (e.g. fzero(0:10:f()), where f()="x^2" will return '2'.). It is possible to write fzero(0:2:"(x-1)(x+1)") too.
Up to 15 decimal points
Scrollable results field
Complex numbers, including a basic guessit for complexes
Fast menu for selecting variables and functions
Results history
Normal/Polar/parameter graphs
Tracing of functions in all modes
Table mode for functions
Installable version of EasyCalc with no graphs, you'll save about 20K of
space, installable version with/without special functions
Added/improved many functions regarding some hard mathematics.
Added popup-menu for built-in functions
Export to memopad. If you want import from memopad, write me, I'm not
sure if it is a useful feature and I'll not add it until somone writes.
Function/variable name can have letters 'G-Z' and numbers as part of
their name
I humbly cast my vote on APL... It is a symbolic, naturally cryptic ( warning: big gif of the non-ASCII charset ) language, delightful to use ( once you really grokked it ) just because of the amazing power of its one-liners...:-)
I was also asking myself about that.. And ( Google IS my best friend ) found this "biography":-)
Biographical Data
Assimilated at an early age, Seven of Nine [ pics of the actress at her fan site ] remained a part of the Borg Collective for eighteen years, serving most recently as Tertiary Adjunct to Uni-matrix 01 within the Collective.
Seven of Nine served as the liaison between the Borg Collective and the Federation Starship Voyager during the war with the malevolent Species 8472.
Her specific function was to assist Federation Captain Kathryn Janeway and Lieutenant Tuvok in developing a biogenic weapon that would defeat Species 8472, which had been attacking the Borg Collective in their realm within the Delta Quadrant.
Seven of Nine had several confrontations with crewmembers of the starship Voyager, most notably when Commander Chakotay (in temporary command as Captain Janeway recovered in sickbay), depressurized the deck which the Borg were located on, ejecting all but Seven of Nine into space.
Despite these difficulties, the alliance between the Borg Collective and Voyager proved successful, and with the success of the biogenic weapon, Species 8472 withdrew from Borg space and returned to their own realm.
Seven of Nine attempted to gain control and assimilate the Starship Voyager once Species 8472 had been defeated, but her link to the Collective mind was severed when Commander Chakotay utilized Borg technology to appeal to her human side.
Seven of Nine was taken to sickbay, where her human genes began to re-emerge. Captain Janeway decided to keep Seven of Nine aboard Voyager, since she was responsible for severing her link to the Collective.
Captain Janeway's hope is that Seven of Nine will choose to remain with aboard the ship, since they can offer her the one thing that the Borg Collective could not... friendship.
Now severed from the Collective, and with her human genes resurfacing, Seven of Nine's body began to have violent, life threatening reactions to this process.
Her Borg implants began to re-assert themselves, attempting to preserve her assimilation, and Captain Janeway ordered the Holographic Doctor to remove her Borg implants entirely.
The Doctor, having studied Borg implants extensively from previous encounters, was successful in removing her implants.
Once this process had been completed, Seven of Nine's human genes were able to regenerate and she was restored to near total humanity.
She has reluctantly decided to remain onboard the starship Voyager, realizing that being amongst a group of humans is the most suitable place for her to re-discover her own sense of individuality and humanity.
Seven of Nine has been a major part in the design and construction of the state-of-the-art Astrometrics Lab aboard the starship Voyager, where she currently spends much of her time.
Introductory Medical Notes:
The Borg formerly known by the designation "Seven of Nine" has been disconnected from the Borg Collective mind through the neutralization of the upper-spinal column neurotransceiver.
In total, I have extracted eighty-two percent of her Borg hardware implants. The remaining bio-implants have been stabilized and remain critical to her life support.
I have also stimulated her human metabolism and immune system, though the Borg Nanobots in her bloodstream will more than suffice until she has stabilized.
Hair follicles have been repaired and stimulated. Her left eyepiece has been replaced by an artificial organ replacement, simulating her own organic eye.
Starfleet records indicate that Seven of Nine was formerly Annika Hansen. Annika's parents were last reported to be leaving a remote outpost in the Omega sector, headed towards the Delta Quadrant in a small vessel The Raven.
It is possible that the Hansen family were the first humans to be assimilated by the Borg.
Current Assignment: U.S.S. Voyager - no formal duty assignment.
Full Name at birth: Annika Hansen.
Borg designation: Seven of Nine Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix01.
Place of birth: Tendara Colony, Stardate 25479.
Date of Assimilation: Approx.18 years prior to Stardate 50984.3
Place of Assimilation: Delta Quadrant.
Marital status: Single.
Species: Human.

You could take a look at Sensiva. It has been around for years, and could even record actions as a macro and assign it to a custom gesture.
you need to be able to say, "New apointment with whoever, whenever" and it needs to be able to accurately record that.
:-)
No need to wait.
That's what a Palm add-on, called GoVox, does... 99 messages or 8 minutes of total record time.
Well, I guess it had a use after all....

How did you get IE 4 and 5 installed on the same system?
If you have IE4 in your system and you install IE5, the Setup offers you ( click in Advanced ) an option to keep it.
