Recap: 4th Annual Bonanza

As usual, a great year end blowout.  If you missed it, you’ll just have to wait until next year!  But I’ll share our 2009 predictions here.

First, thanks are due:

Jason Fiske, our regional FileMaker sales rep, and Matt O’Dell, our regional FM SME, for providing the excellent food;

Andy Gaunt, for popping in via videoshare and offering us season’s greetings and a preview of the year to come for FMPug;

And especially to all the vendors who generously offered software for the giveaways!

Second, I want thank Tony Green for taking photos of the night! He’s shared them for us here:

Our predictions (names withheld to protect the innocent):

Bento 3 will integrate with mySQL.
A color kindle will be introduced, be too expensive and die.
To prove FM is a database for the everyman, Bruce Springsteen will be the new spokesman.
Thanks to a tanking economy, small business will grow in Q3 & Q4.  FileMaker will thrive.
Flexible flatscreens are in stores.
Bento will be used by high school students.
FileMaker will announce a SaaS or subscription model.
American Express will go bankrupt.

And…that’s all I have to say about that.

I hope you’ll join us January 27, 2009, when Ben Waldie will wow us with some AppleScript and Automater integration techniques.  See you soon!
