Bonnie, et all,

I just wandered over there and sent them a message wishing them well. I don't see how in the world they will be able to compete with all the resources of MSFT but having the competition is always IMO a great idea.

Personally I think that a Linux release would help them tremendously.

I do remember whan a scrappy little company in Perrysburg, with Dave Fulton manning the help desk phones, made mincemeat of the then-giants of the land.

I just hated the way that PK ruined dBase and CA dismembered Clipper. Both were worthy competitors who succumbed to the marketers knife.

Now the shoe is on the other foot.

This should be fun and I wish them well.

Best,
Best,


DD
