But without me, how do you make it so every other user out there has something

Seems as though when you setup FrontBase for the first time, you don't have to 
make a bunch of configuration changes to be running a true, transactional 
database. Why would I want to use something that goes out of it's way to help 
me shoot myself in the foot. I do that quite fine on my own. When I want 
encouraged self-abuse I use MS SQLServer, thank-you-very-much.

Actually, I started before 5. I didn't have a pint or two of Guinness to sleep 
off.

So, you're saying MySQL will read a FB backup file?! Cool I'll start trying 
that. Look for my IMs to you directly for help with that.

That Guinness is starting to sound quite nice, now that it's almost 8:30.
