Hail, fellow Mac user!  Down with the Evil Empire!

I think it is probably about $200.00, and there are several versions,the
more expensive with certain advanced features that most people don't need.
It is easy to set up custom layouts and modify existing layouts.  A
database manager is ideal for keeping membership records because of its
advanced find and sort features.  For instance, you can find all members
whose membership needs renewing in February, 2000, and live in
Massachusetts.  I would be glad to try setting up a database for the
membership, if you send me the data.  If you send it as an excel file, I
think I can export it as comma separated text and import it directly into
the Filemaker file.  I am thinking of incorporating a membership
questionaire that Olga Betts worked out into the database.  We don't have
any data to put in, yet, but if we send out the questionnaire, we should
get quite a lot.  I can send you a copy of the questionnaire, if you are
interested.  I don't know if I want to take on the task of data entry for
hundreds of questionnaires without some help, however.

I can't remember what the need was for an ability in Japanese.
