dBase debased: Database titan fades to black after 47 years

It looks like a popular blog post about the decline and fall of dBase has knocked the long-moribund database's website offline. We were rather entertained by a recent blog post on "Delphi Nightmares" mourning the passing of the online store for the dBase website: dBase: 1979-2026. When the post went up, the online shop at store.dbase.com was still online, but since the post was shared on Hacker News yesterday, even that has gone.
