[Electronics-Talk] best system for phone numbers and addresses

[Rik James]

Well, sure thing, Tracy.
I am happy that something I said seems useful.
But warning. Be careful, you could wind up with what I have, too.
A file of something that is like 10 years old. And so you are sitting
around, listening to a ball game and reading through a very old file and
being reminded of things once again, and wondering why I had not utilized
the information by now.
Life is a funny, funny mess sometimes. But  then, messes can wind up as neat
and tidy little piles, too, I guess. So, we press on. Here is to the future!

Hi Rik.
That's a smart idea, to have a file of useful tips from email lists.  I just
leave them sitting in my mailbox, which is why I have tons of old mail.  I
think I'll adopt this idea for myself.  Thanks!
Tracy
