Hi,

Yip, not looking bad (ie. looking quite good), others seemed to have
'dissed' the 'Storage By' term, I actually liked that better than the
'Powered By' as it seems to explain what it actually does better... IMHO
Firebird(SQL) provides the storage for the website more than it powers
the website... Powered by sounds better left to the web server software
itself, again IMHO... But then again I like the ring of FirebirdSQL
better than just Firebird :-)... So just shoot me.

Regards
Colin

I would drop the SQL altogether -

SQL is "only" an interface to the data, nothing more.

Agreed.
