Which is precisely why I don't use it -- I really dislike Windows for anything
serious.  Also, CA has a much better search engine in it.  Seems like DB's are
easier to manipulate.  Also, there is no dongle or fixed number of installs.

I admit I haven't messed with CB much, though, so there is probably a lot I'm
missing.  I have their demo and use that to scan CB data.  But to seriously
manipulate it, I convert it to CA.
