Happy New Year to all

As 2007 winds to a close, I want to take a moment to thank you for your use and evangelism of Alpha Five.

Contrary to Emerson's famous quote, the world will not beat a path to your door if you build a better mousetrap (or a better database IDE).

It takes a devoted group of evangelists to get the world to take note. And you, my friends, are that devoted group of evangelists.

Your suggestions, advice, criticisms, peer support, and sweat equity were crucial to expanding the Alpha Five universe in 2007.

Every new application you deployed, every peer you supported in the Alpha Forum, every feature you requested, every idea you shared or issue you flagged -- it all made the Alpha Five ecosystem stronger.

So, in a nutshell, "thank you for your support." We have some great things in store for you in 2008; things I can't say much about just yet. But I assure you we have been listening, and will again raise the bar for rapid database application development.

I look forward to working with all of you to make 2008 the best year yet for Alpha Five developers and users. If you have any suggestions, comments, or crits, as always, please feel free to write to me, or post a comment here.

Happy new year!
