ToyBase

I will be checking my email over the Christmas period.  I wish everybody a nice relaxing few days.

A sad story on the BBC website at the weekend about Bulwell Toy Library:

I hope they make it through these tough times.

The new version of ToyBase is available now. There is no end-date on the trial period – you can use the software for as long as you want – though it will cap the number of active toys and members that you can create at 200 until you buy a licence.

If you are running ToyBase and are connected to the Internet then just click the Help…Check for Upgrades menu in ToyBase. Otherwise click download here.

Read about the changes in ToyBase 7.0.90.

ToyBase 6.4 used a big old database and had to be installed from a CD. ToyBase 7 uses the excellent Absolute Database from Component Ace software. It is a very professional and reliable product, and small enough to allow ToyBase 7 to be downloadable via the Internet.

If you were using ToyBase 10 years ago in 1999 then you would still be using the MS-DOS version! The first Windows version was not launched until April of 2000.
