Klaus,

I would be happy to help any way I can!  I and co-worker have access to
Oracle, SQL server, Postgres, MySQL, DB2, and KBase data sources, to name a
few.  And we are definitely good at "breaking" things.

Not so long ago, I was a decent assembly language programmer, but have never
written a Squeak plugin before and still consider myself to be on the
"novice" end of the Smalltalk spectrum, although I am starting to turn the
corner.

Thanks for the invitation,

Rob
