1. Don't Forget 4D 2004 is in it's Sunset Phase

4D v11 SQL is fast, easy and quick to integrate - It is time to Upgrade

The time has come to consider your move from 4D 2004 to the 4D v11 SQL
product line. 4D v11 SQL has proven to be a powerful and robust
solution  that will allow you take advantage of new operating systems
such as Windows 7 and MAC OS X Snow Leopard. Upgrading now also ensures
that your data will continue to run on the fastest and most
feature-complete 4D software ever. Learn more about 4D v11 SQL:

If short-term restrictions require you to maintain 4D 2004, we suggest
that you purchase additional 4D 2004 licenses now to take advantage of
the current pricing.

Contact 4D Sales at sales@... or 1-800-785-3303 to discuss your
business needs and how upgrading to 4D v11 SQL may be your best option.

2. 4D Summit 2009 Weekly Digest
Destination: Atlanta

Atlanta is the home of world names such as CNN and Coca-Cola and offers
a wealth of attractions and activities for everyone. Other famous
landmarks include the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, High Museum of Art, Zoo
Atlanta, and many others.

The 4D Summit is located in Midtown Atlanta, the heart of all activity.
Numerous bars, restaurants, and night-clubs are within an easy walking
distance to the hotel.

More information on Midtown-Atlanta can be found here.

What to wear?

Atlanta weather is subtropical, meaning its warm and humid. The average
high is 82F (28C) and the average low is 64F (18C). Light colored
clothes are recommended when exploring outdoors during the day. A
long-sleeve shirt may be necessary for an evening stroll. Atlanta does

October, so keep an eye on the clouds. We'll send a weather forecast
