hey, I just thought of a GREAT use for a spreadsheet-- my very first!

I have a habit of taking selected text snippets from newsgroup posts-- of useful
or interesting comments-- and putting them into a text file of my own, for
future examination.

One long, huge text file. :-O

Spreadsheets can use plain text entries in their cells instead of math formulas
(AFAIU)-- so I could put my individual text snippets into cells, cross-reference
them with various/multiple keywords ("pigment ideas", "while-loop tricks", etc
etc) then use the spreadsheet as a sort of 'library catalogue' to easily find
what I'm looking for.

What a BRILLIANT idea, if I do say so myself! I think I'll apply for a
patent!

:-P  :-P
