Josh,

Thanks for the listing. That gives me something to be able to discuss in
class, at least. I don't suppose you could help me get in contact with any
of these companies? Or maybe if I just drop a line on the general list,
someone might take interest?

I saw Szymon's reply also, and agree it might be a good thing to promote
what PostgreSQL is really capable of, as there does seem to be quite a bit
of doubt (which could be a competitive advantage in the eyes of some folks).

Regards,
Don
