For future use, I'll keep these links active:

• A link to the damped harmonic oscillator applet.
• Two links: one for just a damped harmonic oscillator, the other for a forced harmonic oscillator.
• Kepler motion link: ellipical motion.
• Kepler's third law: radius and period.
• Two body motion and Kepler's laws.
