Re: fantastic tool for TW: Wolfram alpha screencast

Maybe it depends on the types of information you need in writing.

I've worked for electro-mechanical firms in the past, so it looked like a
great source for doing conversions, researching specs, and things of that
nature. Obviously one would need to check the information till one was more
familiar with the source data, but it looked like a good tool idea to me.
But as we say, YMMV :-)
