 Seasons Greetings from Arizona!
 
 
    Club 100 has been indispensable  in   allowing my portable computer
activity  to really come alive.  Particularly  have benefited from your
suggestion to  join the club library.  You were right  Rick, the library has
some really useful  and expansive programs that are  amazing and fun to use.
My compliments  to RB, in the event that he might see  this message.
 
    Most recently I've plugged in a TS- DOS ROM - WOW.  Adding a TPDD2 has
revolutionized my personal computing  program, and I have said GOODBYE to
those migraines caused by hourslong  exposure to that piercing, nonmelodic
cassette interface.
  
    Well - I've spent the previous five  months getting very familiar with my
T- 102 and is time now to employ it in a  MAJOR undertaking.  My plans are to
take  inventories of my primary collections  (ie. photographs, books/magazines,
compact discs) and catalog them on  diskette using my portable computer.
 
    I'm unsure of the "best" format to  use in recording the pertinent
information (such as where and when I  took a photo, or the subject of a
particular magazine article, etc).   Considered using a classic outline
replete with subheadings but, that  format style seems better suited to
organizing thoughts and/or actions.
 
    What sort of simple, effective  options exist for accomplishing a useful
reference work?  Drawing upon your  knowledge of portable computing, what
would you use?  I appreciate your  pointing me in the "right" direction.
