ps.  i just had a funny idea for a website where you could enter your
piece inventories and the it will calculate the weight of your
collection.  I'm not sure what use that will serve. :)

I'd rather see it work the other way around, but I can't figure out how
it'd work. :)

Reminds me of the AT&T (?) commercial from a few years back where you drive
your grocery cart through a scanner that calculates the total price.  So,
maybe if each element had an embedded microchip...  TLC would make a mint
selling hand scanners to garage salers. :)
