Cool site

Wanna get up-to-the-minute conversion rates for trading your dollars for rupees? What about your pesos for shekels? There's a site that'll do that for you:

The Universal Currency Converter

This can be handy when you're shopping online, particularly if you're taking advantage of the internet's incredible diversity by perusing a site in a different country and you need to know if you're getting a good deal on the site's merchandise.
