Just not a database kind of guy

I'm fooling around with a new personal database for OS X called Bento and what I'm learning, again, is I'm just not a database kind of guy.

I've been learning databases for a long, long time, since before MS-DOS and Paradox and dBase III - and even taught classes in Access for a few years so, yeah, I know how databases work. And what they do and why they're useful, sometimes, for some people. But not for me. I'm just not compulsive enough about keeping track of things, getting organized. My method is all about writing notes on scraps of paper and then throwing the scraps again. I leave, as the philosopher once said, a great deal to unfinished business.

Maybe some other time.
