Coo, rather fine. I like that parts look-up facility, and it's even
Mac OSX compatible. Bravo!. I've always thought Dave Silver's site
could use something similar. DS is great if you know exactly what you
want, but not so good if you don't actually know what part is needed,
like when there's a bracket with two empty mounting holes and you're
wondering: "Now what used to live there?"
