Getting Started with a Database

[Klaus Major]

Hi Ruslan and all,

the most funny ever description of you and your amazing 24/7 work has  
been on
the old Paradigma website:

The amazing thing about Paradigma is their support AI, a program  
called RUSLAN.

It is a real breakthrough for Ukranian computer science, because it  
seems to have
passed the Turing test in almost every respect. It jokes, it pretends  
to be not too fluent
in English, it answers questions on deep technical issues, it plans  
ahead and claims
to write software.

It has even dropped mysterious references to having a girlfriend,  
though some say
that the database program called Valentina may be the real object of  
affection.

The only giveaway is that it is too fast, sometimes solutions seems  
to be to be
implemented even before the question is asked.

So join us on the Valentina support list and see if you can make  
Ruslan give himself away.
Oh yes, Valentina, the fast, scriptable Macintosh database engine  
with lots of APIs isn't too bad either...
