FlashcardExchange: create and study flashcards

FlashcardExchange
FlashcardExchange is a flashcard-sharing site that lets you create and study digital forms of everyone's favorite 3x5 cards. The directory already has a large list of subjects, from elementary math to high-level pharmacology.

The flashcards are available to study for free via the website, and if you shell out $19.95 (one-time fee) for the full membership, you can print the flashcards and export them to Word or Excel. With a free account you can create your own flashcards by typing or text/Excel import. You can share your flashcard sets, which are maintained via the "My Flashcards" feature, and play a memory game with them.

FlashcardExchange can be helpful for test preparation, certification exam review, and language learning.

Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
