Exactly, he said "almost beta" the real crashing doesn't begin until beta begins. How quick is your database frodo? I've played with ME and it's kinda slow, horrid once I add a song, and MC I don't use cuz it gets too slow. Feel free to speak progamese, like are we talking t^x or xt for the database timing. If you're not sure about that, what kind of database are you creating? Feel free to release any or none of the info I request. It is your program after all
