That would seem to argue AGAINST your Microsoft products??? All Microsoft
wants is your money - you can do better with a lot smaller invesement with
other tools.

How can you compare the real world to phantoms?

Your financial opportunities cost US money <g>!! I still don't see anything
there that is not currently in the marketplace, just an opportunity to pay
Microsoft to lock us tighter into Microsoft technology. Sort of like paying
someone to take more money from your bank account, I would think.

Don't get me wrong, I love SOME Microsoft products (i.e. nobody has figured
out an alternative to Access), .. but to pay them money just to pay them
homage sounds like something from a religious commune.
