Thank you all for your answers. I'll check out LibreOffice Base; maybe it will 
be easier to use than OpenOffice. And I'll look into the links Joan provided. 
I'm starting to have second thoughts about MySQL; it sounds like it has too 
many pieces for me to keep track of. And if I have to use the terminal to 
install it I doubt I'll be able to get it to work. I've had a lot of trouble 
getting anything accomplished in terminal and would actually rather not use it 
at all.

I do have a couple of related questions. I keep hearing the term "GUI". What is 
that? And what is a fork?

Thanks again.

Meg
