    My boss is particularly fond of it. He uses it across our extra-intranet to leverage our Extreme Programming synergies across the multiple platforms we support. With PostgreSQL, we can proactively manage our solutions database, enabling drilling down through datasets to empower our associates in building our paradigm.

    Of course, he uses it on a Thinkpad, but you have to spend money to make money.
