I'm currently going through my half-vast archives milk box by milk box, 
entering the
78 contents of each one in a MS Access database! When I finish (If indeed I 
LIVE
that long?!) I will finally have a coherent(-ish) list of my holdings. I 
suspect I will find
a thousand or two duplicates during this process...these will NOT be 
rarities, but I
will have to figure out wotinell to DO with them...?!

I also found an old "record player" which I will have to clean, lubricate 
and otherwise
get running well (including finding a source for Astatic N8-3d needles!) so 
I can
finally HEAR my records! Since it has a ceramic cartridge, I can solder an 
RCA
plug to the cartridge output lead and plug THAT into any "Line In" 
jacks...and then
record and/or digitize the sounds of my many 78rpm phonorecords!
