OT fun facts: a) i spent four hours mastering access 2.0, and can now do most, but not all, of what I could do with isql in 1987 -- menus (?swithcboards!), reports, forms, tables, run sql, etc. and create little appliations. Of course its gui and easier to deal with in many ways, but on the down side sql statements longer than 255 chars, and running sets of them, is kinda ackward. finally will drop my ifmx 2.0 databases... I think access front end on ms sql server back end looks like a tempting quick and dirty tool. I did like the ifmx winNT implementation, but the gui and windows / office integration (avery labels, etc) is too hard to pass up... b) those that know how bad I did with my ifmx investments may be amused to know I have recently put most of my chips on INTD, a local (to me) company re-incarnated as an internet-banking-software company. at $1.25 a share, it could triple quickly (more revenue than cybercash and one tenth the market cap); c) I am doing an informix DW implementation (w/ aix and microstrategies) in my ORACLE production shop just so I can keep asking ORCL reps for new price quotes. each month, new lies. somethings never change... d) i plan to follow ifmx going forward, and even keep Bob F's picture on my web site, but i won't buy back in until somebody has a compelling story AND wes is history...
