Re: newbie see newbie do

Yes, and neither does MS Office (it's one of the things added to make MS Office Professional). Having said that, the "classic" office package back when you had a wide varity of choice was a Word Processor, Spreadsheet and Database (and sometimes an Image program). To those are now added a PIM (and light groupware) and Presentation program. Those tools cover the entire needs of 90% of businesses and people, other than a few niche apps - like Point of Sale terminals and Insurance quote programs - both of which could be built upon a good Database app.

And that last reason is why I think a good database app would be nice. But I also hold that the best time to start such an endevour is post-3.0 (which is basically now). And no, I'm not going to do it - for one thing, I don't need it, or know anybody who really does to give feedback, and that's a bad problem when writing a program.
