I agree wholeartedly Chuck…wimmen DO bring a sense of order, gentleness & decorum to what would oterwise be a TRUE man CAVE…the hardest part of the transition from the Piling to the Filing system other than the work, is gettin’ USED TO the concept!!!

I guess libraries have card catalogues and now store such information in computers. Do you have Shirley working on this? If a group of like minded individuals has computerized catalogues that they shared, wouldn’t that be great? I suspect it’ll never happen.
