Thank you for the kind words, Ian. It was a great pleasure meeting you and the other great Witango developers. I had no idea how much could be done with that product until I saw the results demonstrated at the conference. Talent, indeed! There is much for R:BASE and Witango users to learn from each other. I think over time we will all learn to cherish this relationship.
Yes, there is something you can do to assist me in selling the product. It would be great if there was one web-site that I could bring potential customers to where they could see some of the more unusual snippets/subroutines/tricks that can be done with the product. Not to give away trade secrets or anything - just a place to demonstrate a handful of small sophisticated vignettes that feature the power and grace of Witango.
