Parts/Inventory managment application

[Zscoundrel]

I am looking for something similar, but only need to track about half 
that amount.  Have you looked in Sourceforge and freshmeat yet?

Here is the results of a preliminary search, the first three look 
promising - at least to me!  Although I am looking for something much 
less complex.  I need to put a rough system in place that can track 
consumption levels over the course of several weeks and these all seem 
to be much more than I need.

(I appologize if this comes through as HTML)

If you examine how Bill Gates funded research into solving the social issues he is concerned about 
las year, you would notice that he is 14 times more concered about the global threat of Linux than 
he is about AIDS. 

This is understandable when you consider the method of transmission.  I suspect Bill is probably 
much more likely to get Linux than he is to get AIDS!!!  After all, you can download and install 
Linux by yourself!
