Groovy punts SQL turbocharger

WTF?

Hmmm....

No mention of that thing called Microsoft SQL Server which I'm guessing if you're using a SQL environment your going to be using it.

Also looking at the quick info sheet it can't handle all the basic functions etc that I expect SQL08 to perform. I wouldn't go near this with a barge pole if I had any MS SQL environment in all honesty.

Sack the writers....

After the whole writers strike screwed up this and other series it does make you wonder if the studios were right for not paying them much.

Heroes was even worse, great first series. 2nd series makes Terminator look amazing compared to that drawn out, long-winded excuse for a tv program. I like Heroes don't get me wrong but they were cheap in the 2nd series. Poor writing coming from the US at the minute in MHO and many I've talked with agree.

I'm switching to Dextor, Chuck & The Unit. Thankfully they are yet to suffer if at all!

Cheaper alternatives....

Like a mouse mat with a gel wrist support and a decent mouse that fits your hand and plenty of disc space to rest your elbow. Funnily enough as long as you don't hold your mouse like a gimp I'm guessing you'll avoid RSI!

Then you've got at least £50 to spend on a humping USB dog! ;o)
