Well, I think databases are cool. They are really only not cool to those who don't understand. Those people also don't have an attention for detail nor do they care. That's my general opinion anyway.
I did see the "special" running for FileMaker Pro & Go which is one of the reasons I'm considering it. Although, it's not just personal use, it's for a small business. I will look into the possibility of porting the databases when I use the "Free Trial" they e-mailed me.
I will be setting up a large home server in about a year, (building new house, doing a Crestron Control System with the iPad...super excited about that...does that make me a dork because I think control systems and automation are cool? ... who wouldn't want to run everything from their TV, to the air conditioner, to alarm system, to the window shades from their iPad?)
So, anyway, setting up a server to VPN to later will be feasible. But I'm kind of looking to get started right away. Argh, very disappointed this solution has not been invented yet...
Does anyone find it weird that when writing in the iPad forum, iPad is red squiggly underlined for spelling errors?
