Seriously? So someone can afford a $500 computer ( in addition to accessories ), but they wouldn't be able to afford a $60 book (which BTW, there are several for lesser amount) ?
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.
