How I miss FileMaker! Thank you for the files... looking forward to toying around with them.

 

And double thanks for triggering a wild series of click-throughs that led me to all kinds of wonderful resources.

Le verbe aimer est difficile à conjuger: son passé n'est pas simple, son présent n'est qu'indicatif, et son futur est toujours conditionnel.

Nice update.

Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right

to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers,

and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. Revelation 22:14-15

Wow! Thank you! from Morehead Kentucky I just imported my existing database from Excel, and this is a much better way of keeping the information up to date. This has worked out really great for me, Thanks a Million.

for some unseen reason I can not get this to download onto my computer?? I have PC and have no problems downloading any files in the past?

 

I have AutoCAD 2010, and other applications that I have had no issues with downloading?? really stumped here... was really pumped up to see what everyone else was raving about. I bet it is a nice application... any ideas what to do?

I thank Jonro very much for the database!! I have been using this software for about 3 years.

 

Recently I upgrade my computer and install Mac OS 10.6. Suddenly the database fails to start.

It should be just my unique case, but I just wonder if there's any way to avoid this glitch.

 

I am temporary using Windows XP by using bootcamp on my Mac.

 

I greatly appreciate your suggenstion.

Jonro or any other member, do you know of any source on the web which has a price list of pens? I started entering my collection of over 500 pens on Jon's database and since I am not the organised sort, I do not remember the price of each over the last 20 years! (not a bad thing!!). However, now that I have resolved to organise my pens it is irritating not to fill in the price. So, thus far (40 pens or so done), I have been searching the internet and using sort of a mean (sort of) of the prices I find. This process (looking up the price of each pen on the internet) is quite painful, so wondered if anyone knows of a 'mega-price-list-database' that would make this process easier....I am not looking for total precision...a roughish guide will suffice! Also any other Thoughts or suggestions appreciated. Rajesh

Many thanks for the elegant designs and especially for providing both a MAC and a PC version.

Now all we need is a Linux/UNIX version! :thumbup:

Thanks. The DB installed in seconds and runs rock solid. Attractive, intuitive interface. All in all a very nice piece of work!!

 

Thanks Again,

I downloaded this a couple months ago. I haven't really put much into it yet, but from what I've seen it looks really nice.

 

So, I had purchased Bento just a couple days ago which is sort of the Mac desktop consumer version of FileMaker. FileMaker of course is the big brother to Bento.

 

Any plans to make a Bento template similar to this tool?

Nope. Bento is much more limited than FileMaker. I would have to leave out too many features.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
