Default Toy Car Collector - useless proggy

do you have too many models (momo, TT, Dani etc...) and want to have some info about them by hand? well here's the proggy made for your collection

I just downloaded it and trying to "sort things out"

http://www.datavillage.com/ToyCarCollector.htm

maybe this could be STICKY in this models forum?

edit: ^^^ better not

Excellent find. I like it much more than excel based database I had so far.

well, after few minutes of fiddeling with this proggy I found it stupid american proggy :roll: there's no way to change the curency to your's (like GBP, EUR or any others), you can use US DOLLARS ONLY, date is YYYY/MM/DD (for me it should be DD/MM/YYYY) and when you want to have some pics included, this program uses some stupid format, I'd say something like 3:4, not 4:3, so all the pics (after auto-resizing in this proggy) you have a car taller than longer :roll:

so I un-installed it and don't want to see it til next update is done... :roll:

sorry

hehe, I see the best thing is (what I have):
folder "Scale Models", there are another folders of each models with pics and one simple notepad with: the name of the model - price - date of purchase, place of purchace... that's it, I don't need any stupid programs like this one... it doesn't exist in my laptop anymore :fist:
