Anyone have any ideas (or examples) for use of the Datagrid Plugin?

[Roboblue]

I am about to start playing with Icy North's Datagrid plugin. At this time, I only have the two examples from the IN site. For some reason, I have brain lock on ideas for using the plugin.
I originally got the plug in to enhance the SQLite feature of AMS 6. But after looking at the samples, I can see that there could be more uses.
So, examples would be nice, but some ideas would be great, too.

The datagrid plug-in is ideal for any info which you would want to sort by column so it's fantastic at cataloging stuff. For example an app which creates a table of all the MP3 files in a directory and allows you to sort them by clicking column headers which contain various criteria, i.e. date, length, category, artist, last used, etc. + click on them to launch them. Or how about the same thing for files, videos, or images? That's one idea anyhow. I guess one could even go really crazy on it and build something like that for registry entries, or stuff like that. :yes

P.S. If you do the MP3 thing, please shoot me a copy, it sounds handy. :)

You could even use the DataGrid plugin for games. Say a Jeopardy styled game. Or how about a game that included tiles (cells) that each, when clicked, would change color and then one would try to match each color set (of two) in the least amount of guesses.

:yes

*Exactly*. Infinitous. Quizfinity! A 21 idea salute to you for acknowledging that:

1. It would probably be also good for an accounting or quick tax type thing.
2. Maybe a rate calculator or estimator for various industries.
3. Any type of spreadsheet application.
4. How about a personal real time stock tracker tool.
5. Dynamic web info display tool.
6. Or an arrivals card for a shipper/receiver or transportation company.
7. Inventory app.
8. RFID data tracker.
9. Retail theft reduction trendspotter tool.
10. Sales tracking and analysis tool.
11. Advanced log keeper.
12. Front end GUI for managing apache logs.
13. Tools to help teachers track and analyze class data.
14. Payroll management tool.
15. Sports league round-robin/season tracker.
16. Small business operations analysis tool.
17. General statistical analysis tool.
18. Unit conversion tool.
19. Time management tool.
20. Serial number tracker/management tool.
21. Real time "Lowest Price Finder" application.
