For those of you not in the know, Rekall is a RAD DBMS similar to MS Access or Paradox and has now been GPL'ed by theKompany.

      Does this run under Windows? theKompany's site appears to be slashdotted.

    Like, isn't that for us to determine, you know? I mean, they say it's RAD, for sure. But what if, like, I don't agree?

      I'm disappointed. This is a KDE application. Why isn't it K-RAD?

      Because some lame joker would claim that it stands for K-RAPid Development.

    Do a nice thing for the community, get your site nuked by a slashdotting :\

    Can't we stick with posting links to SCO? They deserve this kind of treatment, whilst theKompany are pretty cool. (Especially if you own a Zaurus - tkcRom rocks.)

    With PHP and XML, I don't really see why we need another database front end. What is it that makes this a "Killer App"? I don't see it.

      As this is my first introduction to Rekall, I initially read the headline as "Wreck All". Not the kind of thing I'd want running in my small office.

      Perhaps just maybe a name change might be in order.
