So, what are "poor good ethics"? :-) I don't know of anybody in the computer business who's going to get into heaven without some heavy negotiating, but Informix aren't blatant thugs and they've always been way above board in all my dealings with them. They are the least likely to post misleading ads (which doesn't mean they've never done it, they just do it very rarely), and I've never heard of them doing anything unethical in our marketplace (South Africa). So for a database vendor, I reckon their ethics are pretty good, but I'd love to hear anything to the contrary. However, I think we might want to take this off-line to e-mail, so that other, less ethical vendors won't be tempted into using anything we say in advertisements.... :-) Hasta la vista! -- billy.wheeler@pixie.co.za
