[mdlug] Transfer Calculator

[Morris, Tim]

The funny thing is, I never actually said it _was_ web 2.0..

I said it was _like_ 2.0, "but not really"... As was said, there is no
server component, and therefore or Async Js, and therefore no AJAX. 

I thought the Web 2.0 argument was a different thread... That'll teach
me!

But hey! If you enjoy the calculator, then great!

Fuzzy terms for fuzzy-headed people, I always say.
