I agree that we don't have to have a majority of the market to be "successful." However, there is a very accurate adage in both business and politics: "If you're not growing, you're shrinking." We need to continue to grow, not necessarily to take over the market, but to make sure that we don't disappear entirely. I don't want to be the "betamax of databases". -- -Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco
