Yes, that's it exactly! Thank you!

and it's only compatible up to XP, which may be why it didn't work on my 64-bit Win7 system.

I have no idea where it came from, we all just stared at it, trying to deduce its function.

At least if it's an automotive part, Hubby can look at it and go "Oh, that's the whatzit switch from the thingie valve from a '68 Mustang fastback."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I wonder if there's one for Librarything.

I just came across instructions for using RedLaser to scan ISBNs into LibraryThing [link] I bet that is easily modified for some Android app

Eta: I think I am deciding that I'd rather keep my library records on the web than on my phone, so I'd better finish getting everything into LibraryThing...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't believe my reflexive reaction was "What's a PDA?"

Good lord.
