I read somewheres that we’re coming to about the half way point for qualification for next year’s world cup. Now is where it starts to get real serious and games mean more and more. For the US national team this means playing Mexico in Azteca stadium this Sunday at 1pm. This game will be a

The new database component will be very interesting indeed, especially if it can compete against Microsoft Access – the database development platform of choice for the technophobic.
