Nice talking to you, and nice to hear from someone who's been there since the DOS days. So you like a good scotch, that's cool.
I grew up with Apple Macs, my parents had a graphic design business in the late 80s and early 90s. I like all OSes, except maybe the earlier versions of Windows--my dad was very prejudiced against them because of the anti-trust lawsuit between Apple and Microsoft, wherein Apple accused Microsoft of stealing the "look and feel" of their OS. And Microsoft has cornered the database market to an extent with Access, back in 1992 I believe. I recently learnt about an archaic Macintosh spreadsheet app designed by Microsoft, I forget what it was called.
Wow, it's hard not to talk Access on these forums, even by the "water cooler"! I must admit I have a special place in my heart for Access, ever since I completed an Australian so-called Certificate II unit in that one subject (databases). Two more Certificates later (III and IV), and I'm still trying to get over my amazement at how much of a "killer app" it really is.
Hushed rumours have it that Access is not going to be around forever (shh! don't tell anyone I told you that!)
