+      <h2>Precision</h2>
+      Abacus uses a mathematical tool called Taylor Series to determine values
+      as accurate as the user desires. Of course, this comes with some
+      performance issues with larger numbers. However, Abacus has been
+      tested to generate the value of e correctly to a thousand digits.

+  </div>
+  <div class="fullwidth green">
+    <div class="double">
+      <h2>Configurable and Customizable</h2>
+      The very first idea for Abacus was inspired by how difficult it was
+      to program a TI-84 calculator. Only two languages were available, TI-BASIC
+      and Assembly, the latter having virtually no documentation. Determined
+      to be better than a TI-84, Abacus implemented a plugin system that allows
+      users to easily create and add plugins written in the same programming
+      language as Abacus itself - Java. These plugins can access the full
+      power of the language, and implement their own ways of handling numbers,
+      as well as their own functions and even operators.<br><br>
+      Besides the ability to add plugins, Abacus also adds some general
+      options that can be used to make the user's experience more pleasant.
+      For instance, it allows for a computation limit to be set in order
+      to prevent excessively long evaluation: 8!!! is, for example, an expression
+      that even Wolfram Alpha doesn't compute accurately, and will never finish
+      on Abacus (it's simply too large). The computation limit will allow Abacus
+      to kill a computation if it takes too long. Support for user-definable
+      precision is also planned.

+      <h2>Built-in Documentation</h2>
+      Abacus plugins are given a mechanism to register documentation for
+      the functions that they provide. The Abacus GUI displays these
+      functions in a searchable list, allowing the user to read the parameters
+      that have to be supplied to each function, as well as learn about
+      its return value.<br><br>
+      The search finds functions not only by their names, but also by relevant
+      terms mentioned in the function's description, thus allowing related
+      functions to be displayed together.
