[AccessD] OT: How Microsoft Lost the API War

Yes, Marty, I was a big ice hockey fan when young, very young :)
The first World Ice Hockey Championship I watched on TV was the one from
1967.

I have somewhere paper notebooks where I did write down the ice hockey
matches scores and goals authors, with photos etc.

And the times you mention - as far as I can I remember  - Phil Esposito was
a great forward and how Canadians kept "fighting till the end" was unusual
for local ice hockey championships...

Here are some links on Legendary Soviet Ice Hockey:

Vladislav Tretjak is in Russian Parliament now as far as I know...

And Vyatcheslav Fetisov who played for many years in NHL is now a Chief of
Russian Federal Agency of Physical Culture, Sport and Tourism...
