[AccessD] Access 2007 - Microsoft is just plain stupid.

Sorry about that, with other words, 's is possessive.... I'm not an
English major, mind you.... ;)

Good luck with the encryption course.  I've always found encryption fun.

Speaking of rants, it irritates the hail out of me when people
incorrectly
use "it's" when they intended "its". There is a very simple rule here:
"it's" is a contraction of "it is", as in "it's raining cats and dogs
and
there are poodles all over." "Its", on the other hand, is a possessive
pronoun of neutral gender, as in "Despite its intentions, China was
unable
to confine its populace to having merely one child per family."

That said, I do find your essay on encryption and the lack thereof
interesting. As it happens, I am taking a course on Techniques of
Encryption
now. The last time I did anything meaningful in this area was pre-DES,
so I
have a fair amount of catching up to do.
