    I wasn't sure whether something else would keep me - and it did.

    It is a great events, and too many questions for Jim to answers. Even I have some questions, and I do not have a chance to ask!

    Most EXCELLENT! Great speaker, knowledgable and fun to listen to. He should be invited back to talk about SQL in general. I very much enjoyed it, thanks Sheerie.

    The info was helpful, but I found his wifes comments even more insightful. She was able to answer each question directly and did not have a superior or condescending tone as some of the audience members did.

    Jim has a wealth of knowledge about the industry and really understands the need for a new transactional DB Engine. Looking forward to seeing what Falcon can do!
