Well, it was worth a try! :)

Actually, it made me remember some of the classic vendor presentations I've walked out of in the past. Things like the You Probably Shouldn't Need to Reorg by a vendor of a reorg product, who then went ahead and told us that one of the few valid reasons for reorging was b-tree indexes getting out of balance (for example, with one branch 3 deep and another 4)!

Ah yes, I remember so well the feeling of choking back laughter as I ran from the room. :)

Nice try, Pete :-). Nah, I think the non-professional vendor presentation is a relief compared to the professional vendor presentation where you can barely keep from suddenly joining the BAARF party...

By the way, I used to know a girl called Charlotte. I was part of the Charlotte User Group, actually.

Enough. I'll have another Glenlivet 12 Years right now.
