My father built his career on top of dBase, and as a kid I fished one of those luggable CP/M computers out of my school’s garbage dumpster to take home and tinker with. So I read this new Stone Tools article with even greater than usual interest.

@jalefkowit I'd love to learn more about your father doing this, because dBASE has always been this mysterious software monolith that I never saw anyone use
