I thought its me who is living in Santa Claus Country (Finland) As a user of Sybase and PB software,I'm by no means happy about Sybase & PB merger. I have had a full-time job trying to figure out Sybase's pricing schemes this year, so I'm scared to think what happens to PB pricing.(what is the latest software pricing strategy for Sybase? They have tried everything exept "by a client software license and get the server software for free".) Ilkka Hypponen ilkka.hypponen@ihy.pp.fi
