I think sagulator is a brilliant name :-)

It's probably what George Bush might have used to describe his dwindling ability to satisfy his wife :-)

I just tried this , as I recently fitted some shelves into an alcove for my daughter . 25mm MDF with a 99 cm span . according to the Sagulator I can expect a sag of 1.39 mm eventually . Don't care as I said daughter if they sag turn them over the other way up . Ha Ha
