[William Prothero]

Andre:
I actually don’t have anything in mind. But, I keep getting ads for AWS and am curious whether it would be useful. Anyway, it’s low priority and I really like the way your dB library simply takes an array and puts it into the dB without a lot of fussing around.
Best,
Bill
