JDK, I'm with you, but I kinda took it a step farther. I got sick and tired of Post-It notes and crumpled up pieces of paper in my truck, and bought a cheap PDA, a Palm V. I've got all of my rigs, tools, tractors, mowers, etc listed in it with year, make model, S/N, belt sizes, plugs and everything else I can think of. On the main page I have listings for the stores I go to (TLC, Lowe�s, Depot, True value, etc) and when I need to get something I enter it on my computer and download it to my PDA. Walk into the store, pull up the listing and go nuts. Sure does simplify matters on my monthly visit to the big city! Another nice thing about PDA's, other than the phone listings and everything else, is that I can download pages directly from the web if I need to do some comparison shopping. I was looking for a BBQ Grill last week and downloaded the test results from Consumer Reports. I had the ratings, model numbers, prices and the pros and cons of every tested BBQ in their mag. Sure makes things easier! Granted it may seem a little high-tech, but I don't know how I lived without it 2 years ago. Without the color screen and with a small memory package you can pick one up a office supply store for under $75.00. My nickels worth, Scott
