I'm still not convinced of this. For example, my friend has a hardware
e-store and every different class of hardware has different properties. ie
modems have baud and network cards have speed and video cards have ram. He
simply just has a 'products' table from which he extends
'networkcard_products', etc. with the additional fields. Easy.
