uh pgAdmin II sucked because it used ODBC and was coded in Visual Basic,
not because it ran on windows.
pgAdmin III is far superior to pgAdmin II in almost every regards and
it's not because it's cross platform.
It's because it's a far better design.

Not sure what you mean by me waiting to for other people to write software.

If your running Linux on the desktop, that's great!! but by saying I am
creating a problem because PGLA only runs on windows is extremely short
sighted.
