I, like many free software others, enjoy getting postcards from where users live. If you're a happy MDB Tools user (or even a disgruntled one, doesn't really matter) and want to drop me a postcard with a picture of the place you live, email <a href="mailto:camber@ais.org">me</a> for my snail-mail address. Come one, you know you want to!
