Has anyone here used this software? It is written in Microsoft Access format. I saw it on eBay for $30. Is it good and worth buying?

It is the same one,

I've though about it but a notebook seems so much more appropriate for me personally (and I'm into IT!)

It think it's handy. Just that it's written in MS access. Anyone with average MS access database knowledge could spend some time to write something similar. This is a small program for $30. I would buy it for $15 :)

Guys, if you're interested in this sort of thing, hold on for a bit. I may have a little something special up my sleeve for AusBonsai folks.

Looks like the same people that did the cactus records also. be very ,very, careful.
thats when my computer crashed. I lost everything and the CD wouldnt open again. It wasnt much diffrent than using your own publisher data base. But thats my view.
