That's the price of your pessimism, Charles. But as I said in other
emails, don't think that just because something looks like it is free,
it cannot cost you later.

I can totally appreciate your concerns here. But honestly, even if my
brother sold me a business solution, Id still have a disaster plan if
the stakes are that precious. If you planned on using MySQL, you should
still consider what would happen if you could no longer use MySQL.
