Gotta side with Darren here...where I run into problems is when I can't see what I want and simply finding it becomes a Sisyphan task. On top of it, I'm not an alphabetizer (my wife actually LIKE doing it - unfortunately, that means I'm subject to her theories of categorization - which leave things to be desired!). To some extent, I was better off with tons of piles...I knew what was in those piles, believe it or not. Of course, when you have those 7000+ collections it gets a bit unmanageable. I know of a former IDM-er named Jim (a Dr. in the southern US) who put all of his in those little flimsy plastic see through things, but I just can't live without more protection and being able to see what I'm looking for. It's hard enough to find things when you CAN see those spines. Especially when your wife doesn't understand that Lisa Carbon, Atom Heart, Lassigue Bendthaus, Senor Coconut, Atomu Shinzo, Geez-n-Gosh, Dos Tracks, etc., etc. all go in the same place. :-) jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
