I'm inclined to say not as much as one might think (or an advertiser would have

I'll have to read that one; at first glance it does look like Koffice's answer
to OpenOffice Base, both of which are answers to MS Access. The Kexi site

Could Dvorak have benefits from people who suffer from a RSI or
similar injury, because it requires your hands to move less?
I've been using dvorak for a few years, I definitely type faster but I
didn't type properly on qwerty anyways, using dvorak was an impetus to
learn how to touch type correct

Keeping track of the foreign-key indices, etc, manually is an error-prone
pain.

Well,
When the fastest runner in the world wears nike, there might be
something. When the fastest race car driver drives an ford, there might
be something there. When the fastest super computer in the US is made
by Cray and uses AMD Opteron's there might be something.

Hello All,
I'm looking for a better way to work tape jobs. Seek input from others..
The goal is to put the job in the background and receive an email when the
job is complete.
Should I be using "nohup" at the start of the command?
How can I add mail -s "tape job complete" sgold

There is of course software to do that. GRC's ClicKey

I have not gotten that to run yet. VMWare documentation is inconsistent
