Dear All,
 I have been trying out Bento, a database program produced by  
FileMaker. I am amazed how simple it was to make a database for  
birding sightings. It took me about !.5 hours to produce it, starting  
scratch to finished product, not bad, considering that I had no  
previous database experience.
 I recommend anyone with a Mac running OS 10.5x to download Bento and  
give it a trial. The program is still in the Public Beta stage but I  
couldn't find any problems with it. It is so simple that an old  
dodderer like me can use it.
 I have been using Wings and BirdBrain for my sightings, but it looks  
like I will be switching when the final release of Bento comes out.  
All I have to do now is work out how to port my sightings to it.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford
