Yes, I made a spreadsheet for myself with all the elements in it - just
concatenated Margo's text files, stripped the headers, and then sorted by piece
type and colour. I use Excel, which makes it easy to do filters and sorts
without fooling around with writing queries. You're welcome to the file, just
drop me an e-mail.
I had heard a while ago that Margo had done Space in the same fashion as
Castle and Pirate - has anyone heard any news on that? That would be
wonderful, since it's the only big theme without a lot of inventories (Town and
Train are well covered by Tim Vattima's database). We love ya, Margo!
Cheers, Heather
