North Carolina Boat Ramps
With the advent of summer, boat ramps become popular. A new boat ramp was recently opened in Morehead City North Carolina and it was "full" over the Memorial Day Weekend.
The Garner News recently posted this article: "N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission’s 200 boating access areas serve over 300,000 registered boaters" I don't know if the URL below will stay valid past a couple of days.

Open Office
Just wondering; how many of you guys (and gals) use Open Office instead of Excel or Notepad when using POI files. I just recently learned of Open Office and was wondering if it was any good at this sort of thing.
