But without me, how do you make it so every other user out there has something to feel superior about?

Seems as though when you setup FrontBase for the first time, you don't have to make a bunch of configuration changes to be running a true, transactional database. Why would I want to use something that goes out of it's way to help me shoot myself in the foot. I do that quite fine on my own. When I want encouraged self-abuse I use MS SQLServer, thank-you-very-much.

Actually, I started before 5. I didn't have a pint or two of Guinness to sleep off.

So, you're saying MySQL will read a FB backup file?! Cool I'll start trying that. Look for my IMs to you directly for help with that.

I don't thin 24 hours is going to be enough...
:-D
That Guinness is starting to sound quite nice, now that it's almost 8:30.
