[AccessD] .net

I'm not saying never learn it, but remember there is NO Access .NET as
yet -- anyone learning .NET right now is doing so outside of Access.

I know, I know, Access is dying... :( We've been hearing that for years and
while I've got one guy with his head inside the door telling me it's true,
I've got another with his head inside the very same MS door telling me he
hasn't heard a thing -- even MS doesn't know.
