Seth,
Totally awesome! Thanks!

Seth, I started reading "Friday", only because it is the first one I happened to download. I love it! Thanks.
I was real surprised that I could download all 54 in such a short time. (I have dial-up) Only took a little over an hour. For some reason the download stayed at over 8 kbs, when it usually drops to half that.

Point your webcam at the barcode, and it will create a library entry by name and title. Works for books, movies, and CDs. Drag a title onto a name, and it "checks out" the item to that person.

It's MacOS X (10.3+) only. Download for $39.95.

Merrimack has a book swap table at the transfer station open to all its residence.  People dump old books on the table for anyone who wants them.  Popular books get grabbed up within a day or two but unusual titles or non-popular books sit for weeks.

If there are particular authors or titles people are looking for I?d be more then happy to check for them when I go.  If someone has room for storing books I can pick up any books that look like they would be interesting to the group as well.

One side question? what is Loompanics?

Once my book is finished and I have some copies to give away, I'll be happy to donate a copy to such a worthy cause

Just for entertainment value, less philosophical, the earlier Heinlein books are thin, quick reads. Written in simpler times.  As an example, an engineer, his nephew and nephew's friend build a rocket in the back yard out of WWII surplus parts, go to the moon and find Nazis!

Cool   Guess I need to get off my butt and finish the library software
