OOoBase is making some good progress.  It is a bit clunky still, but
with some TLC I see no reason for it not being the "Access of the Linux
World".  I use OOoBase for small-time database things (like this)
whenever I can.  I am quite comfortable using Access but want to remove
any requirement for it in anything I am involved in.
