And, for all of that time, the Macintosh has been my primary desktop. I’ve tried making Linux my primary desktop many times (5 at last count.) More recently (last time I tried this was back in 2004) it was not being able to sync with the palm treo I had at the time. This is the 6th, and last time I will do this.

Unlike the others, that are released under varied open source licenses, the code for SQLite is public domain. I’d argue that PostgreSQL is a better choice, but for most nptech applications, it doesn’t matter – what matters is what your tech/consultant knows, and that’s much more likely to be MySQL.

This is a topic of particular fascination for me as someone who has worked as an external consultant/provocateur/risk-encourager and is now in the director's seat for the first time. Risk-takers need "space-makers" to provide them with the support, the creative license, and the encouragement to try new things, fail, and get up again.
