I'm pretty new to the collecting game, but I'm already having trouble
keeping machines, parts, software, manuals, and releated stuff tractable.
I've picked-up some barcode reading equipment with the idea that one day
I'll encode the contents of all of my boxes, and tie it to all together
with a database that include historical info, condition info, and other
notes.

Has anybody already done something like this? If so, can I steal your
scheme?
