I just use a spreadsheet to keep track of stuff like that...collections,
contact list, etc. Depends on your needs, really. Maybe I didn't give
enough learning time (summer session class) to the MS programs with which I
wasn't familiar (including Access). Access does come on computer that get
MS Office (Access, Word, Excel, Powerpoint...OK so I was only totally
clueless on Access).
