Ah but the world is not round, except in the vaguest sense. Certainly it is more round than flat, but actually it's shaped more like a Japanese orange (with squashed top and bottom) than a sphere. And in fact, if you happen to follow some modern physics and philosophy, even this analogy may be wrong. If reality is in fact an involuted hypersphere, then "round" or "flat" or "Japanese orange" are all moot. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Brock, Christian T, HRC-Alexandria Sent: Friday, August 13, 2004 9:44 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: RE: [AccessD] Naming Conventions That is a canard.

Hmmm, should we keep bringing up these kind of comparisons? Kodak balked at the idea of 'photo copies', because it didn't come close to their current photography standards.....guess Xerox is living proof that 'our way, or the highway' should be reconsidered sometimes.
