Hi everyone, I used to work at Odesta Corporation (who started Helix) in the Chicago area - from 1987 top 1989, as a Tech Support Rep. I answered questions (on the phone) from developers and "regular" users all day, every day. I was there from Helix to Double Helix to Double Helix II. It was my first foray into the Mac world, much less databases. I learned so much there, but it was a program that couldn't, and wouldn't, keep up with the new technology. 4D passed it by rather quickly, then FileMaker. I am now a full-time FMP developer, having given up on Helix years ago, then given up on 4D. As for the new Helix, I don't know anything about it - this is the first I've heard of Helix 6. Since Odesta was sold, and moved around the Chicago area for a while, then to Texas, jeez, I lost interest and contact. If anyone would like to know what it was like way back then, or who has fond memories of talking to me on the phone, please write. E-mail is gary@milltechsol.com Thanks, Gary Kravitz
