Surely you didn't mean 30-40 years of the same dbs? Tech move fast. And it moves faster and faster (so far, at least). I mean, there's a pretty big move towards things that do opportunistic data synchronization and whatnot-- little AIR apps, etc.-- and it seems like every JS lib worth it's salt now has an off-line mode. Hell, what it's really about is making snowmobiles, as Boyd would say. (Anybody wanna bite? He fits in swell with several recent threads... ;]) -- Look at the means which a man employs, consider his motives, observe his pleasures. A man simply cannot conceal himself!
