[Hidden-tech] online database

[Tom Adams ~ Reelife Productions & Folktography]

Thanks for all your database suggestions. very helpful.
I'm gonna' fire up my kids ole 2008 macmini which has filemaker on it and
export the old filemaker pro files as csv files and then import into Bento
which has some nice crowd-sourced video producer-type
templates<http://solutions.filemaker.com/database-templates/detail.jsp?serial=2551724698>all
ready to go... hopefully that'll all go smoothly. It'll be so nice to
be able to search, track & locate all my existing footage again...

Regards,
