Gear ratio graph tool

My search-fu has failed me.

Someone posted a link within the last month or so to a really nice web-based gear ratio calculator that made a really cool graph comparison. I've lost the link and I can't find it in the forums... I know it's there! sorry for being such a dope!

Can someone supply the link? Or if not, your favorite little calculator? (Yes, I know I can do it by hand easily enough... Just want to have the little graph that came with the other calculation that I found so helpful!)

Thanks!

I think this is what you are looking for:

Cary, yes, that's exactly the one I was looking for. I had just found it mis-filed among my bookmarks and was going to be all proud for having found it again! :-)

Thanks to all. And if you haven't seen the one Cary points points out, it's very cool.

Here is a spreadsheet gear calculator that might be helpful.
