Oooh, aahhhhh. I like it! EasyTimeline is a pretty useful little plugin. That Erik Zachte really knows where his towel is.

Thanks for lightening the mood... though I feel compelled to point out that our multimedia and "hey, cool!" offerings still pale in comparison to those of Encarta and BO.

While I hate to interrupt the usual bickering, recriminations, and complaining that I've come to expect from this mailing list, I just wanted to point out this little gem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_music
It's the current Collaboration of the Week and, if the trend continues, will probably be a featured article soon enough.
The reason I single this particular article out is because I think this article *really* highlights how good Wikipedia can be. I really do like the clickable graph of the lifespans of major classical composers (in other words, you click on the name and you go to that composer's article). It also has almost a dozen full length songs (Many of them put there by Raulbot in last week's classical music grab-and-dump binge)
Britannica, eat your heart out.
