At this point, I would say great marketing tool because this comes up every once in a while on the net and we all get to discuss it.... I can only assume it to be a very misleading (and intentionally at that) and rather egotistcal since they are attempting to say "better than" relational... Does anyone actually use (or has used) this stuff? - david -- ============================================================================== David K.
