Post by cinlach@aol.com »

hi all!
i'm currently using filemaker on my mac mini to keep track of my collection but i'm getting a little cheesed at it because i can't get it to do something. that got me wondering about other programs and applications and whatnot.
i've got virtual pc on here so i can run some pc programs.
i was just wondering what you guys used to track your books. i've heard others before say they've used excel but i don't know it well enough to get it to do anything.
any suggestions? i'd love to hear some feedback.
WWSLJD, MF?

I also use Excel for the exact same reasons as 400. Takes a little time to tweak it the way you want but once it's set up and calculating you're good to go. :thumb:

I still have a copy of this at my parents home! I never really got hardcore into it because my collection was so tiny then but now that it has grown.. :think:
