[FM Discuss] the comments

[John Curwood]

There is some really cool comments in there, one of the great things  
I've found with talking to people about Booki is that almost everyone  
can see a way in which they personally could use it!
Everyone seemed to have a different use for it, but they almost all  
could has a use for it.

Cheers,

John
