Also, can any of you English experts confirm this: I heard once that "myriad" was an adjective, not a noun (as in "...and myriad other academic and business software packages" rather than "...and a myriad of other..."). I just checked on dictionary.com and it said both are correct, although many people do not consider the noun form as correct.
Just checked this with my girlfriend, whose qualifications to make a definitive statement on grammar and usage are so long I won't attempt to list them. She says to use "myriad" in exactly the same way you would use "many": as an adjective. The noun form is technically incorrect but is so often misused that it's gaining grudging acceptance from usage nit-pickers.
