Hey.
Along the lines of last week's "specialty" thread, I'm kind of
curious
where the various members (including and especially lurkers) live.
Maybe more to the point, where our various machines and parts dumps
reside....
Yeah, that sounds like a good/useful idea. I'd be willing to do some work
on setting this up. I could even host the database... right now, using
a server on Purdue's campus.
I've managed so far never to touch a
database, but this strikes me as
an interesting-enough and simple-enough first project. I'm interested
in listing and correlating several things:
The last time I've really played with a database was back in Windows 3.1
days with Microsoft Access. However, I know people that know what they're
doing and could assist me ;). [I'd propose a system set up on a Linux
server, not Windows of course.]
Linux, bah! Set it up on a 64k floppy drive only CPM system using DBase
version 1.
