>That is not technically correct. Ashton was a maccaw (parrot) that was the unofficial mascot of Ashton-Tate. I am not sure who it belonged to but I believe it was George Tate's.

Hey Alex, I see you have some very interesting story's details to talk about! Would you like to tell some of them (we could post at http://www.black-beans.com.br/foxprohistory/foxstories.htm)? Any other contribution would be great too.

Just send me, if you wish of course (in one of the various ways to do it: here, at the wiki or email), and we'll be very glad to count on you in our work!
