If you remember, a while back, I offered to make a 'car maintenance log' for anyone here that wanted it.

It's not perfect, since I'm the only one using it, but I like it.</span> <br><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>NOTE- Like me, none of my software is pretty. It's 'brutish' at best, but, also like me, it gets the job done.</span> <br><br><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>If there really is an interest, I'll be happy to make a web based tool inventory application. A big advantage would be that it would be 100% off site (your site) so if the unthinkable happened, the data is safe. (of course, I can email you an excel spreadsheet anytime you want.)</span> <br><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>So, just email me the features you think are important, and I'll put it together if there is enough interest.</span> <br><br><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>What I think a record would need...</span> <br><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>-Tool</span> <br><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>-Brand</span> <br><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>-Date purchased</span> <br><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>-Amount</span> <br><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>-Where purchased (is that worth having?)</span> <br><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>-Photo?</span> <br><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>-Copy of receipt?</span> <br><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>-Where stored?</span> <br><br><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>I could also do an import if you have a spreadsheet already, just send it to me and I can import it into your tool vault.</span> <br><br><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>I could also build in an 'wife total.' Meaning that you would click on a total money spent button, but it would only show you a predefined percentage of the actual value that you set. IE, you set a 50% value. Anytime you hit the 'total spent' button, it would only show you 50% of the value. This would be to prevent domestic violences of course! 8>)</span> <br><br><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Any other ideas?</span> <br><br><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Again, it would be web based (not platform dependant) and 100% free all the time.</span> <br><br><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><br><br>"Be as beneficent as the sun or the sea, but if your rights as a rational being are trenched on, die on the first inch of your territory."
