Hurray! I placed my order at Amazon last week - hope I get mine on Monday or Tuesday. BTW I'm working on a version 0.1 of DBI and ODBC which I'll post somewhere asap. I needed to access MS Access and I convinced my customer to allow me to switch from Python to Ruby and delay a week on the stipulation that the conversion and writing the DBI/ODBC was on my dime. That's worth it - Ruby is terrific! I only found Ruby a week ago and after about an hour of reading documentation I was a convert and starting down loading source. I'd like to write a Ruby based app server like Zope.
