Just for fun ... Lord of the Rings (LotR) is quite the story and now quite a cinematic experience as well. Seems at least one of the those that contributed to the BSD Unix kernel OS X utilizes thought so too. To see the LotR event timeline built into OS X, do this: Open the Terminal (in your Applications -> Utilities folder). Copy and paste the following, then hit enter at the terminal prompt:
cat /usr/share/calendar/calendar.history | grep "LOTR"Timely and fun, imho. :)
