A quick Google showed me this little gem: http://www.cedmagic.com/cuecat/cuecat.html I still have one of those in my dusty ol' junk boxes. I'm definitely going to try this out! (...and the CueCat goes down in the annals of history as one of the poorest conceived technology ventures.

I remember we had a discussion once (couple of years ago?) about a cheapo scanner that was being given away free- I got one from Forbes magazine as I recall. There was a great hack with code to allow one to scan into Access. Hey, if you're going off the deep end why not go all the way?!

I once "inventoried" all the books in our house by category. I didn't list them, I just counted them. No way would I want to record even just the titles in a database. But my friend seems reconciled to it.
