With each friend is the name and the all-important telephone numbers which she can call to get the DVD back. With each DVD is the star actor name and title. Whenever a friend borrows a DVD, Zelda will enter that fact into her database along with the date borrowed. Whenever the DVD gets returned, that fact, too, gets noted along with the date returned. Zelda wants to keep a complete history of her friends' borrowing habits so that she can ask favors of the heavy borrowers (or perhaps refuse to make further loans to those who habitually don't return them quickly
