[muglo] Re: databases

I would agree with doug. The newer products have some neat features. For 
example, a student showed me her movie database, which was impressive. In the 
old days we would have typed in all the data, she just enters one bit of info 
and it goes off to the internet and automatically populates the fields using 
data from the internet movie database. It even can use a webcam to scan 
barcodes on existing dvd cases so you don't even have to type in the movie 
name....my 2 cents worthgord----- Original Message -----From: Doug Bale
