[AccessD] have some fun

LOL.  I wouldn't touch a Mac forum with a ten foot pole.  For people who claim to be comfortable in 
their own skin I see a TON of defensiveness about ANYTHING that even REMOTELY even LOOKS like it 
MIGHT come CLOSE to saying anything negative about a MAC.  And a whole ton of "Windows sux" kinds of 
things.

I don't use Macs, but only because my livelihood is created in MS products.  But I have no need to 
bad mouth them even though they suck big time.  <grin>

For those of you working with Access in a mixed environment, some tips may be of value. Even better, contribute if you feel so. Just remember to tip-toe and weigh your wordings ... it is like being in the lions' cave - and none of the lions is you!
