[AccessD] Converting Customers to VB.Net

Funny, I was taking a copter flight through Redmond a while back, and
the pilot got lost in the fog.  He was getting worried that we wouldn't
make it back to SeaTac, when we saw an office building looming out of
the fog.  I wrote a sign that said 'Where are we?' and held it up to the
glass for the office workers to see.  They scurried around, and came
back with their own sign, 'You're in a helicopter'.  I immediately knew
where we were, and told the pilot which direction SeaTac was.  

He was impressed, and wanted to know how I knew where we were.  I told
him that the office folk's reply was technically correct, yet completely
useless, so we had to be outside of Microsoft's tech support!

ROTFL.

I was just at his house the other day.  Bill sent his jet into the
Hickory regional airport to pick 
me up.  They tell me it's the first time a 747 has ever landed their and
they were holding their 
breath that it would get back off the ground.  Of course they told me
this AFTER I got back.

Anyway, I had coffee with him and the wife.  Just chit chat you know.
He wanted to let me know that 
if I didn't lighten up I'd never make MSVP.  He's such a nice guy, I
have to say.  He seemed really 
interested in my welfare.  I tried to raise the bug issue thing but he
just blew it off.  Something 
about nobody listened to him either anymore (not that I really believe
him).

So I gave him some worthwhile tips on what charities to spend a little
of that fund of his on.  He 
also strong armed me for a couple of million $ donation.  How can you
say no to a guy like that?

I guess my MSVP chances aren't too good now though, after this whole
2007 thing.  8(

I really have to learn to keep my mouth shut.
