Research it!
"The Swiss Army knives of research instruments. You can search through various dictionaries and thesauruses, look up acronyms and quotations (Bartlett's), translate English to French and Japanese and back again, figure out anagrams, word-search the King James Version of the Bible and the works of Shakespeare, look at maps, check your stocks, and on and on. Probably a wise first stop in any search for information." Yahoo Review 1996
