I think we're misunderstood or something... That is far from what I was
conveying.

99.9% of the people who are going to be using InterBase I'm sure could care
less about what's going on under the hood. I'm talking about making it
usable for the developers designing applications and solving business
problems.

We want to make it so that they *will know what they are doing* as soon as
possible. Usability had better be an issue you are willing to factor into
everything that is introduced to a product. If it isn't usable people move
on. Too often learned the hard way...

My $0.02 worth.
