Philadelphia Inquirer Collectify. Windows. $99.99
by John J. Fried If you are still all aglow with that New Year's resolution to get organized, consider MyStuff.
It will help you catalog absolutely everything in your life: the books and CDs you own, the number of claims you have filed with your insurance company, the loans you have provided friends and family.
And it will let you do so in excruciating detail - everything from the price you paid for an art object to the place where you have hidden it, from the date of birth of an author to the date the book was reissued.
You can even scan in photos or diagrams related to the stuff you are cataloging.
At one level, MyStuff is painless to use.
There are templates to show you how the important things in your life should be pigeonholed. If the templates are not enough, wizards will hold your hand as you catalog.
But MyStuff is also fairly complicated.
In many ways, it assumes that you know all about cataloging, categorizing and subcategorizing.
It can be intimidating because it often seems to demand, rather than ask for, information that is not at your fingertips.
There is no doubt, though, that if you get on top of it, your life will be very neatly laid out in front of your eyes. More information: www.collectify.com.
