[Koha] Greetings from a new Koha user

Hi again,

Unfortunately, I've had the opportunity to look into this further over the
weekend, and I don't think I'll be using Koha.  It would require substantial
customization to meet my needs, and I'm no expert at Perl or the Koha source
code.  Instead, I put together some software over the weekend that handles the
requirements I had.  The biggest needs I had that Koha wasn't providing were
loaning of bulk items (where I have one database entry for, say, a few hundred
identical items, and members can check out whatever quantity they need) and
tracking the distribution of consumable items that don't need to be returned.
It also would have been a pain to remove all the due date tracking from Koha,
which I also don't want.

Guess I'm not close enough to a typical library.  Oh well!  Koha seems like a
great piece of software for real libraries that deal primarily in books. :)  I
wish you all the best of luck.
