Evidently I'm unable to communicate with you.  I was simply trying to get
you to back up one of your previous statements.

You said: "Its aboubt as good as DB2/400 but is far cheaper and scales
nicely at a
fraction of the cost."

I said: "SQL Server costs either $20,000 per server, or about $450 per
client, depending on your licensing choice.  How many SQL servers does it
take to handle 1000 users?"

You said: "I also said that you could use the NFR(Not for Resale)  for
internal or development use only"

How does that answer my question about the cost of licensing 1000 users?
You're the one who brought up scaling, I was just trying to get something
other than rhetoric as an answer.  It seems either I am unable to frame a
question you understand, or you choose not to answer the questions I ask.
Either way, this becomes a pointless conversation.
