Thread: InterBase interview on Linux Journal

> They need to be educated about us..... > http://www2.linuxjournal.com/articles/conversations/010.html Yeah. I just sent a comment to them on this. I had talked to Marjorie Richards (from memory; I think that is the name) at LinuxWorld in August regarding Postgres articles, and she indicated that they might be interested in principle but that that they had recently done an introductory review article (nice and complimentary btw) and didn't have a specific need for more intro material. We have had mention in other articles since then, as the tool used to implement other apps. But it seems that Doc Searls doesn't read them very carefully ;) - Thomas -- Thomas Lockhart lockhart@alumni.caltech.edu South Pasadena, California

Totally agree. And as far as I am concerned, Interbase is not major at all. So we have a non-major database vendor claiming they are the first major database vendor to go open-source. -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle maillist@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026
