I looked at that too, but it wasn't very flexible in the storage of 
attributes.  It's really more as Paul described in his other reply and I 
really only want an inventory program.  These 
inventory/ticketing/todo/monitoring packages are neat and I'd be happy to 
only use the inventory aspects of them if they didn't feel so limited and 
compromised for the rest of the functionality.

This seems to be about the same as IRM.  More of a ticket management system 
with an emphasis on assets...  I think.  Browsing around their demo, it kept 
changing languages on me.

If I do, I will.  I'm starting to wonder if I'll just go and reinvent the 
wheel again though... I know that anything I code along those lines won't be 
very flexible though as I tend to program things like this very 
self-centered.  Rather than abstract everything from everything so that it 
can work for everyone, I tend to be the type to consolidate all the 
functionality I need to a very specific bash script or something. ;-)
