I had a similar situation several years ago. I had used R:Base to develop a comprehensive clinical information system for a multi-state, multi-site government funded project. Eventually, largely for political, non-technical reasons, they decided to replace my system with something "better, newer, and more powerful." They eventually did get something up and running, but at a cost of more than 10 times (in taxpayer funds) what they had invested in my R:Base system.
I started using R:Base in 1990 (geez, has it really been 20 years?) and it has not only remained the absolute best database development platform, it has continued, especially under Razzak's management, to get better over time. Literally nothing can compare with it!

Hi all Many of you remember that my old distributor dropped my app in RBase and was trying to create a new app in MS SQL and .Net. He started at least 3 years ago and still does not have a working demo! On top of that in Dec of 08 he sent out flyers saying his app was 99.9% finished, and again in Dec of 09 he said they were installing the app in offices.... Now, the funny part. He had doctors from all over the country fly in to his office about 2 weeks ago to see a live demo. He also setup live viedo conferencing to show off his new creation. His app kept locking up and had to be rebooted several times and cound not finish the demo! Worse yet, many of these offices pre paid up to 10k for this app 3 yrs ago! He claims he spent millions so far on this project, but do not beleive him or feel sorry for him, his lips are moving and he still owes me thousands in back pay. R:Base Rocks Marc
