ABS Brakes and U2 Databases

While my life experiences were flashing before me in the few seconds before my ABS brakes gripped the frozen payment in front of a stop sign, I thought how similar this braking system was to U2 databases.

ABS was first introduced in late 1920's by Gabriel Voisin for stop his aircraft without blowing tires.  It took until 1970's when Ford and General Motors first put them on mass production cars.  Around the early 1990's you could get ABS brakes as option on most cars.  ABS brakes took some where around 60 years to refine the technology for the masses.

The Pick database the precursor of U2 databases Universe and Unidata was started in 1973 with the release of Microdata version.  In around the middle 1980's Universe and Unidata we started.  We are 40 years in to this technology.  Hopefully, before the next 20 years main stream users, programmers, C-suite people, and the media will find out revolutionary these databases can be.

I believe we won't have to wait another 20 years to harvest this technology.  I, with my team of programmers, have created our suite of tools using Eclipse IDE.  Our XLr8Editor allows editing of programs, dictionaries, procedures, paragraphs, and data with built-in version control.  With our XLr8Resizer you can resize your account with a few click of the mouse.  Our XLr8Installer allows you to build a XML install script you can run to build you software accounts for your internal use or for your customers.  Our XLr8Developer and XLr8Object Editor the help you create these wonderful web pages using our middle-ware call U2WebLink.

U2logic offers free trials on all of our tools.  With U2logic there is no capital investment you just pay maintenance every year to get access to all bug fixes, releases, and email support.
