Wordpress depends on MySQL (it can probably use other databases, but MySQL is the default). Wordpress handles all the SQL and details though, so you don't have to mess with the database except for maybe setting up a user.
Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?

I have had good luck with steadfast networks. They are slightly cheaper than dreamhost.

Another vote for steadfast.net. I've found their customer service to be excellent. I signed up with them through a subsidiary called Host Affection, which seems to be cheaper than going through steadfast.net. [link]

Jon, have you ever used the autoresponder function through Host Affection?
I plan to use resonders for email list sign ups and for distribution of timed lessons (e-courses) connected to my coaching programs. If it's easy to use it through this host company, it would save me a chunk of change on the add-on service I use at the moment.

I've got 3 sites hosted through Dreamhost and they've been great for me.

To me, "autoresponder" means where if someone sends an email to a particular address, they automatically receive a canned response back. It sounds like you're looking for mailing list software? If so, you can set up a mailing list directly from the control panel, or you can easily install free third-party software like phpList.

The combined bill for Kristin and I last month was 76 pages.
AT&T is crazy with the bills, but it cracks me up that this is suddenly all kinds of big news. I've been getting 50-100 page bills from them for years. Half of the 76 page bill was stuff from her Blackberry.

That's about one call a page, right?
I'm trying to figure out what I should do about a Windows computer for my school work -- Intel Mac Pro with Parallels, or true Windows machine? And if I can get one with XP installed (yes, there are some that come that way at MicroCenter) do I want to go with one of those, or am I just buying future trouble as the OS gets increasingly outdated and unsupported?
