For those who don't know, Wil Shipley is the author of Delicious Library. <http://delicious-monster.com/&#62 http://delicious-monster.com/> A perennially popular MacOS app. It is a great way to catalog most everything you own. It started off being only for books, but since has acquired the ability to keep track of just about anything.

Delicious Library: one of the apps that makes me wish I could afford a Mac. Genius stuff; shame there doesn't seem to be a Windows equivalent.

  It's a nice app... and nicely gimmicky. But I just can't bring myself to use it for more than a few days then it gets all out of date. I guess if you're OCD about books and other items it may have a great use for you, but I feel it's gimmicky and while it looks amazing it isn't as valuable as it may look.

  Have you thought about buying one second hand or refurbished?

    Oh, many a time. Spent a couple days just browsing eBay for Mac Minis. Truth is, though, I really won't have the kind of money to drop on a system for quite some time. Hell, I wouldn't even have a laptop if I wasn't lucky to enough to receive a CR-48 :p Some day, when I have money, I'll probably sell off the CR-48 (it's a nice little system, once you get the BIOS flashed and ChromeOS replaced) and put that towards a plastic Macbook. Until then, I'll just continue lusting over Delicious Library, TextMate, and everything Panic Software puts out...

      How much [cw]ould you pay for a mac mini? I have one sitting across the room from me that I hardly use. It's an early intel model with 1gb. I want to buy a new one to run OpenCyc (which requires 4gb) on but I can't bring myself to just scrap the old one.

        Just give it to him already. Ask him to pay shipping, and bask in the good deed while you wait for your new machine. Rather than asking him to part with a small amount of money he probably can't really afford and you likely don't really need, tell him to pass the favor on to someone else someday.

        Perhaps he's too proud to accept charity from a stranger. Offering to sell it to him for whatever he can comfortably pay (no matter how small) is both generous and respectful. If he cannot afford even a penny, I'm happy to pay shipping as well...

        Uh... wow. This actually came at a crappy time for me, since right now I don't have a lot of disposable income - I'm 17 and jobless (no available transportation...). I would try to pay at least $100 or something, but right now I'm almost flat broke. If you're okay with going total charity, you can email me at tommy04@gmail.com so we can work it out, but if you're not, I understand.

  Taking a cue from the blog post, what if you worked your ass off and built one?
