Hey Paul,

Based on the comments made in this thread, I was (reluctantly) already
starting to reach that conclusion. It was just nice to have someone
else say what I was thinking.

It looks like PostgreSQL will now run under Win2k (it use to only run
under *nix). This is another feature I always look for because I
really like being able to prototype applications on my laptop. Based
on features, FB was my #1 choice as a new database to start developing
on. I guess it is now time to evaluate the #2 choice.

Thanks,
Darryl
