Hi Göran.

Actually, I just installed Magma for the first time last night.  I only 
got so far as creating a session connection to a Magma server dedicated 
image.  From what I have gleaned so far, Magma looks like the type of 
storage I a seek.  It reminds me of ZEO's ClientStorage, so at least I 
am already familiar with the concepts of its persistent object storage. 
  I'm looking forward to putting it through some tests tonight.
