Inventory Control (was Re: - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

I'm just wondering - what DO you use these machines for? I guess you 
must have been doing it for a long time if you're using classics for it. 

Also, I think you should at least have an inventory of the manuals, and 
an inventory of each machine, ie

Apple //c
=1 computer
=1 monitor //c
=1 AC adapter
=1 'getting started' guide

etc, etc. That way, if you give the machine to someone, you won't leave 
anything out.
...
 That could never work for me. I have a
'working' collection - machines 
are often being used for real-world tasks (I don't really have a 
non-classic computer), they're being investigated, hacked, tweaked, 
repaired,etc. So machines rarely stay in the same place for very long. 

And while I have shelf after shelf of manuals, many of them are open on 
my workbench, near this PC, etc. They're in _use_.
