I doubt that is what is moving the issue today though. Looking at the volume pattern, something must have triggered it mid day. I wanted to double up at 9 but decided to wait ......... mistake. Tj

That's all nice, but you overestimate the power of the internet user community when it comes to complex projects like a modern RDBMS. These projects are just too complex for the current development model ala linux or mozilla. People outside INPR won't participate and INPR will be left holding the development bag anyway. Besides, when it comes to RDBMSs there is Oracle and Sybase and then... there is chaos. Personally I would sell the damn thing and get on with the core of the business which is the development tools. just my 2c Kiriakos INPR would make IB open source not to gain IT credibility, but to move the cost of future development out into the user community. Rather than just killing the product, they will allow the community of IB users to enhance the product as necessary. IT should only care that an open source IB might could offer better price, features, and stability than it currently does.
