Here's a tidbit I found online today, and since it's prety closely linked to what this post is about, I thought I'd share it with you guys. http://www.pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/showlink.aspx?bookmarkid=OVS3VANJFHH6&preview=article&linkid=60eca8f7-e2f9-4a34-80e1-04ac8170e32c&pdaffid=ZVFwBG5jk4Kvl9OaBJc5%2bg%3d%3d
