I was triaging paper today and this thought occurred to me. A database of my ownings would be a good idea. I have learned that one's life can suddenly, radically change,
and i learned from estate sales i have attended that there can be regrettable unnecessary chaos too. I wonder if others have done this and what they are using, if any,
for a data logging program. I would need not many fields, but room for a paragraph or two in some cases. I think i need to add tie tags to items also. Unfortunately right
now the power cables, manuals and so on are not closely associated with the equipment. For example, a power cable for a Japanese HRO type receiver; if i'm gone, who's
going to figure out what that is? Maybe Brad W. K7DGT,  he is smart enough to figure it out, but maybe no one else. Also i have a lot of books and manuals, some really 
obscure and rare, and i'd hate for them to be just donated en masse. ( BTW, have you noticed that at almost any estate sale, the original equipment manuals are nowhere
to be found? ) 
So anywhere i wonder what others are doing?
