Greetings IDMers! Im a lil new to this list, although Ive been into IDM for quite a while now, and Im very happy with contents of this list, as Ive learned so much. (not to mentioned found some cool stuff up for sale!). With the list moderators concerned with unrelated and antagonistic posts, This message is posted ONLY for people who like to buy music on the web. Living near a FEW decent record shops, I can more or less get by with standard issue IDM, but for the real obscure stuff, I have to take it to the web. Since I mostly make my living developing databases in FilemakerPro, I began a database of ALL the online web record stores I could find. Starting off with 18 shops, I customized it so that I could keep all the stores straight in my head. I used it as a 'bookmark' tool to launch my web browser to where I wanted whenever it was shopping time.. Pretty soon my database grew to over 50 shops, and I began to seriously think of what to do with all this data besides leave it in my computer.. Ive always wanted a webpage, but since I dont have a dog or cat, I dont have anything to take pictures of and web-up ! :) Well, 2 ideas found each other, and now Im making my online music shop database available for the world to use: www.mindspring.com/~red42/VMM_Home.htm (bookmark this page only) This is my first Internet web page (im an intranet guy) so I hope you like it.. BTW: Pls respond to email "xxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx" , cuz Im at work right now and I need to keep this kind of thing at the home instead of work. enjoy, and pls lemme know if you have ideas on how to improve it! Its now at over 100 shops in 10 different countries but the entire site can be updated at the touch of one button so updating it every day is a laughable affair!!! ernie <-aka-> red42 +-------------------------------------------------+ Ernesto Ikerd, (817) 763-4795 Company Graphics, Dept 17 Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircaft Systems Fort Worth, Texas +-------------------------------------------------+
