I've made a handful of little services that help you look up information about a selected part by name or number from nearly any application. Bricklink, the LDraw parts tracker, Lugnet partsref, and Peeron part searches are supported. Each database (...) (18 years ago, 8-Nov-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
