Hi Thomas,

of course these application shouldn't to be used in a "normal pc",
and I'm pretty sure that if you powerdown the server when 10000 transactions
are in execution the database become inconsistent.

to write code thinking that every operation can be the last done,
it is a very interesting exercise.
