I was thinking more of a traditional SQL type query, but thinking more
about, the way you desribe above would probably be both easier to do and
more user freindly. Yep, that'd do it for me!

I'm thinking that if I buy a 128Mb module I can "dedicate" (this is a
Linux box) 120Mb to Squeak and still have a (very) marginal improvement
in anything els running at the same time. In my dinkering with Celeste
I'm pretty sure that it's faster at getting my mail than Netscape, but
this may be an illusion ;-)
