[AccessD] Downgrading to ODE 2000

...re ebay buys ...I've never had a bad transaction on ebay and I've got a
number of software bargains there ...Visio 2002 Pro for $39 for instance,
fully registered with MS ...ODEs ...and MSDN subs for $850 which is a
tremendous bargain ...but I am careful to buy only from sellers with high
feedback ratings and always ask any questions before bidding ...like any
marketplace, if you're looking for a bargain you have to be very careful
what you're buying ...but that caution aside, ebay has saved me one hell of
a lot of money ...as well as made me some ...a client recently upgraded to
WinXP Pro using a CD and licenses I bought through ebay ...he saved a bunch
and I did more than ok on the deal ...and the Windows holo and licenses were
all legal. :)
