Seriously? With global median household income at less than $200 / week
(and ranging by country from $2 to $400)[1], you can't understand that $60
could be a barrier for lots of people? And computers can be had for far
less than $500, even before you get to used or refurbished. Then again
people might use shared, university or library computers. You've nicely
illustrated Josh's point which you yourself quoted: "I think us in the
Western World tend to forget that by far the majority of users cant afford
a latte from Starbucks let alone a 60.00 USD dead tree."

My comment, BTW, applies to all versions of Postgresql, whether current,
unsupported or yet-to-be-developed.

Cheers,
Ken
