And if you're into seed saving, recommendations are STRONGLY against depending on computer records for the all-important accession history records. They tend to go away unexpectedly, and even backups may likely be on media that nobody can read in a timeframe short by even human standards. I do use various computer files, but occasionally print them on dead trees and place in a folder made of more dead trees. I do this as well. There are other considerations though - if you are *really* serious about it. For instance, our house could burn down and with it all of the records that are on paper. But I'd still have a lot of my records, because I put them on CDs and they are stored in a friend's house. These get updated monthly. I'm not *that* serious about gardening records, but I am very serious about our business tax records so the CD might as well contain gardening records, recipes, photographs, and so on. There's plenty of room on one CD for everything I want to save. People tell me it's over the top to put my garlic varieties in a spreadsheet. They're probably right, but if you've seen my handwriting... Software is a tool and can be a gardening tool. It's just as much a tool as a hoe, or a rake, or a tiller. Some people like one tool, some like another. Pat |
