I can, and have, wasted a LOT of time going through this site and thinking “Oooh! I want that! But what would I do with it…I know, I’ll attach THIS on this other page, and put it all in THAT!!” The ‘Containers’ section alone fills my wish list up. AND I’m pretty sure someone HERE led me to it, so it’s my turn to pass on the interestingness! The descriptions alone are worth the time. 🙂 [http://www.sciplus.com/index.cfm](http://www.sciplus.com/index.cfm) ---
