Bill,

Yes indeed sir I am he. As long as me, Jim Schmidt, and Damon Kauffman are still around the SWORBUGS are still kicking it RBase style. We have been socially distanced for about 10 years or so now but bound by our history of crazyness and fanaticism for our platform.

Bill I remember now it was you who indeed co authored those references and they were brilliant. I had one or both books in printed binder form and lost them in an office move many moons ago and often wish I had them back over the years especially now. RBase is still my one and only database platform for my businesses.

I do, however, still have pictures, some video, and audio of the SWORBUG songs and shenanigans at the conferences. They date back to the Rbase 5.0 days. I may share them sometime.

I do monitor the list here but I don't contribute anything. I just absorb what I can and stay grateful for a great DB product with a great history, brilliant people, and a continuing legacy.

Your last name wasn't on your email. You aren't by any chance Thom Cimicato, of the SWORBUGS, are you?

    Decades ago there were two SQL books/manuals specific to R:Base
    written
    by some top developer(s) that was available to the R:Base
    Community.  I
    believe the author's name was Dave.  I can't remember his last
    name but
    I do remember his face and I think there was a contributor to the
    manual
    whose name was Dave as well. I had one of these huge 3 ring
    binders and
    I am wondering if that document is still available in some form for
    purchase or share?? My R:Base SQL skills are rusty these days.

    Fondly,

    Tom
