FYI, did you see my comment that LibreOffice are thinking about making Firebird the default database? What do you think that's going to do to the number of your naive users? As I also said, I'm not at all sure what they're planning will actually work, but be aware you might be in for a shock down the road a little. (I understand databases, I'm not sure how much real experience the guy planning the roadmap has...)
