  • Tie Spring to the explosive growth of databases, and hence the need for efficient querying of same.
  • (US-centric) July 4th to the “tax” burden imposed by row-based systems
  • Or July 4th/Fireworks/explosive growth
  • Summer/beach/ease of administration

Maybe we'll try to be less ambiguous (as I think we were on <a href="http://www.vertica.com/_swf/billboard-october2008.swf" rel="nofollow">Halloween</a>), but just as fun, the next time we publish a seasonal/commerative banner. Speaking of which, we're open to seasonal banner ideas and suggestions from the public. Feel free to throw some out on this thread (ok Curt)? and/or email ideas to info@vertica.com. If we use your suggestion, we'll give you a free iPod touch. Hi Curt,
