(especially > 2GB and multiple CPU's). And, I know it's a longshot, but any cost information for running on VMWare. Thanks, David Hi Nick,

Any update on Blackfish SQL pricing? (especially > 2GB and multiple CPU’s). And, I know it’s a longshot, but any cost information for running on VMWare.

Thanks,

Robert Kawasaki said in his book "The art of the start": "Just do it!" Somehow that sounds familiar! ;-) Aargh - if only the finance people understood or excitement with new technologies and tools! Thanks Nick - What can we do but wait. Markus Hi Nick,

Works very nice, yet I am dissapointed in the lack of costing information. I've been looking at your website often to see if you had more on pricing for larger DB's/More users, but no info has been published. You are losing faithfull customer support due to these time delays between the marketing hype and then the dead silence on pricing. How do I sell to my customers?

There things like SQLLight, MySQL, and any number of X-Platform database engines like FireBird that run native. And cheers to C Jonson. You guys want to sell more Delphi? The how about you stop: 1. disambiguate the Delphi name from things like PHP for cryin out loud! Call PHP-Builder or PHP-On-Steroids or something. 2. Cut the crap with all the different versions and get the price out of the stratosphere already. I mean $3000.00 US! You just priced it right out of the range of just about anyone. And don;t hand me the Turbo-Line of garbage .Net managed code IDE stuff either. 3. REALIZE that connecting to client/server databases is what almost ALL programming projects are about today and take action on item number 2. 4. Get a freeking CLUE already, and get Kylix back into production. OMG who wants yet another POS that either requires ,NOT or a JAVA VM.

What capabilites demonstrated in your ASP.NET demo will be available to me using the Pro version of RAD Studio 2007?
