Geim was one of the recipients of 2000 Ig Nobel Prize in physics, which he earned for magnetically levitating frogs. This makes Geim the first person to have won both the Ig Nobel and the Nobel Prizes.

Basically, I'm just storing info about Wifi APs that I come across. Maybe 8-9 fields per entry. I've since outgrown Notepad, and figured this info should be stored in a database. This info is for my own reference only; it is not going on a web server.

Googling was unhelpful, with results skewed towards SQL, Access (MS), and Oracle, all of which would be overkill for my purposes.

My criteria is, it must be simple, F/OSS, must work in Windows Vista, preferably use a portable format, must _not_ be an online app, and does not require Java.

Does such a beast exist?"
