[nfbcs] a new job and using excel and some questions

[Mike and Jenna]

Hi,

My needs aren't really that complex just to keep track of where the cars are
going where they clear from who's next in line to receive a customer. I am
using an excel sheet right now and too not pads to make this work but I
think I really could be doing something better or faster. I am open to
suggestions. I can also send the sheet I am using if anyone wants to see
what I am doing.

How complex are your needs?  What about creating a small offline web app
which would use the browsers local storage, WebSQL, or IndexDB to manage
this info?  Based on what you've described, it doesn't sound as though your
needs are all that complex.
