This database is not publicly available right now, but will soon become 
a subscription-based service. Right now, they don't check the 
credentials of queries, which means you can put anything for the 
email/password fields and query the database. After their announcement 
at Dayton, they will secure it and start charging a (small) fee for 
subscription.

However, I've gotten their permission to send this out to you guys while 
it's still open to the world for the purposes of testing the code. Let 
me know what you think.

Be advised that their "server" is apparently a 386/16 and takes a long 
time to return queries :)
