[dba-VB] Renaming DBA-VB

Hi Jim.

Yes, I have just checked the price - it looks unaffordable for
small-/middle-size businesses. Yes, there is evaluation version but...

I'd currently think that ASP.NET and C#/VB.NET(VS Express) + MS SQL 2005
Express/Access backend DB is the best ever available toolset for Web (and
whatever else) real life business applications development...

And they are free for download and use, aren't they?...

I do not usually answer my own emails but...

I must qualify my last comments as I was unaware of the product cost which
had me fumbling for my oxygen mask as soon as I saw it. 

Fortunately there are evaluation copies available.

I offer wonder why Ruby-on-rails is such a popular program considering that
its performance is rated at one thirtieth of that of C and far below the
speed of any .Net flavour. 

A friend has recently been required to work with ROR and was not impressed
with performance and that it could be written so cryptic that he was
required to write extensive notes in the code.

His recommendation for the finest .Net programming language is Eiffel:
