Re: [HS] Re: HandyShopper replacement for iPad

I could easily create a new group just for ex-HandyShopper users to join 
and commiserate. Seems silly, though. If you're using a new device, join 
a group for that device or OS.

One alternative would be for those who are interested to create a 
reference of some kind of alternatives to HandyShopper for various 
operating systems. This reference can then be linked to any time someone 
asks that same question, and updated any time there is a new OS, device, 
or list application.

Never mind, I already started it. Here it is. If you're a member, you 
can add things to this database.
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/handyshopper/database?method=reportRows&tbl=30

I added a fake/example entry. All members can add, edit, and delete 
records. Please don't delete them unless/until the app is no longer 
available from any source.
Only I can make changes to the database table (new fields, rename 
fields), but I'm willing to do so at any time. Just tell me what needs 
to be changed.

There you go! Have fun! With all the people wanting to ask and help with 
this timeless question, I expect that database to fill quickly. ;-)
