[AccessD] fantastic article

Hi Seth:

It is good to hear from you again. Would you mind updating you bio as it
seems to be slightly dated?

Thanks for the article as it is timely when so many pundits are expounding
on MS Access's timely death... or near death. Many of us on the list
straddle the dark side every day. One thing is for sure that the List will
morph as the technology expands.  

Have a great holiday.

Jim

Hi folks,

I must admit, I haven't had this list in mind for a couple of years now. 
  I'm still subbed but on eternal vacation mode.  I haven't even really 
touched Access in ages, and with my latest job, I work more in 
Unix/Linux than Windows.  Quickly peering at the archives today, it's 
nice to see that I still recognize most of the names.  I don't know, 
maybe the holiday seasonal orgy making me feel sentimental.  I have 
always thought this list is the best resource for Access developers 
anywhere and am glad that it is thriving after almost six years of 
independence.  I am proud and happy to have been a part of that.  Cheers 
to all of you who keep this list alive.

Anyway, I'm sending this because I read a brilliant article this morning 
and couldn't think of a better place to share it than here.

"Access isn't a relational database"
By Mark Whitehorn

A great piece for those of you who have to occasionally defend your 
choice of development platform.

Have a great holiday week.

Seth
