- Point well taken.

- There's a company in Connecticut called SofDesign (203.629.0970) which has
- a database product called QuickBase that has SQL capabilities and is
- priced under $200. I spoke with them twice and they did not hit on my
- Bozo radar. Other than that, since I have not used it, I cannot endorse
- their product. Maybe someone who has used QuickBase can give a quick
- summary of their reaction to the product.
