- I saw Mark over the holidays, and he said that he is getting a new system
- (or maybe just a new version of Filemaker Pro for his Macs) which will
- be able to keep track of the inventory and automatically decrement each
- time an order is placed. This way, his operators will know how many items
- are in stock which haven't been sold. Hopefully, this will help to
- eliminate many of these problems in the future.
