Wow, who knew. According to Wikipedia, the order of the Teutonic Knights exists today as a charitable organization (they don't seem to have a website though). It even has a grandmaster - one Bruno Platter. And I thought that Alexander Nevsky got rid of them completely. Or at least the Soviet era cartoon that I've seen made think so, because my education in that period of Russian History never progressed much further than that.

I noticed that at home I mostly use Outlook as a very slow and crappy spell checker for my blog. I only keep it around because of the spellchecker and because Gmail does not have an import feature. I tried importing with Gmail Loader, with the whole crappy export to Firebird thing, but that messes up most Russian emails and does not set the dates correctly. Why Google does now provide an import utility is beyond me - it would have completed lock-in for so many users. Also, I wonder, what's the best software spell checker that money can buy?

Proudly Serving My Corporate Masters presents : Microsoft's famous (mentioned in Microserfs and the Joel's rant ) Ship-It award throughout the ages. I wonder if I could buy one of these on eBay :)
