Oh, I've done that! Both at lace vendor stalls and at the Medieval Congress in Kalamazoo! When I get my act together, I put a download of our Bibliofile database (just a FileMaker database with a funny name, not a special program) on my iPad where I can readily search it as a spreadsheet. But sometimes I forget to take the latest version, or find I left it in the dorm, or just the booth is so crowded I don't want to bother checking..
Janice, someone on this list might like to take it off your hands. Sorry for my own low participation lately - the last couple of years at work were much, much busier than usual (requiring about a 30% increment in time spent there), so I decided to retire - which of course has meant that I dumped a batch of stuff from the cube in my house that now needs to be integrated sanely. Also was sent to a conference in France, and my colleague enticed me to visit her at her family home in Bruges (poor me!); we also went to Ghent together. Yes, I got a few minutes in at the Kantcentrum, and the store across from it, and wandered around Brussels for half a day on my own. That was two weeks out of the country, and I came back to work just two days before retiring. Just last Friday, returned from 10 days in the Middle Ages at the Pennsic Wars with my daughter and her family and about 10,350 other people...
