Thanks for the support guys, if nothing else, this week has been memorable. :) It seems I lied on my entry--my little brother didn't have my old capsule models. They were actually still back in my childhood bedroom: http://twitpic.com/7sc0jv The covered in dust thing was still correct though :) Note to self: buy Mom new camera.

I consider it a compliment :) It's a practical issue. They were afraid an Oracle or SQL Server DBA would immediately start twiddling all the knobs and buttons to make it work better. the pgsql guy will just sit back and watch until he's needed.
