I've been watching a lot of db frontends and sql-ledger, horde, and
turba this past couple of months.

All of them will succeed, but none of them are ready for prime time
yet.  I have preferences but I also have a business to run.

No rush, anyway.

I have been in business for 35 years.  One thing, if you can teach
one Linux fanatic one thing..................(many are rabid to a
point embarrassing for me) is that a good product prevails in the
marketplace.  

I'm in Linux because it's smart.

I might have been in for the sport at first, but it is smart now.
