Labor Day Ramblings

Y'all catch dis heeyah?  Walter Vaughan been jivin' 'bout like:

And they'll let you use a -real- language...when?  :)  VB is proprietary.
M$ is the only one keeping C# alive, really.  Cobol is something people
have been migrating (or trying to) off of for quite some years.

The second reason Access is so laughable, after its horridly underscalable
JET (hah!) engine, is its inability to do anything even remotely
non-simplistic without knowing VB.

Of course, .net and VB programmers are a dime a dozen these days--and worth
about as much, to boot.
