Thanks for rolling out a splendid podcast. You were talking about rumors of a 12″ MacBook Pro in your latest podcast. But some of the other rumors were talking about a 12″ MacBook Air. Which is it? Will the Air finally get a Retina display or will we see a Pro downsizing to 12″?
Adam,
One free database that wasn’t mentioned was the Access compatible DB in Libre Office.
I believe a DB also available in Open Office. It may be over-kill for modest needs but it is free and scalable. A plus is that there is a lot of Access information and help out there.
Thanks for the great podcast.

Adam, you mentioned someone with tech chops building a MySQL database for club membership. As an alternative, I built a WordPress-driven website for a non-profit that had a membership database, and I used the WP-Members plugin to track their members. You can define what data on each member you want, it puts a registration form on the site so people can register themselves, it puts up pages where members can reset their password or change their personal information, you can put a page template together to display member information, and you can import CSV files of member information. It has worked really well for them over the past year.
