[AccessD] Office 2007

I not only remember WordStar, I still miss it sometimes when I want to do
something fancy and can't remember how to make it happen. WordStar didn't do
all that much, but what it did looked great....and it was SIMPLE...seems
like nothing is simple today...

Just remember when you cash that cheque, you come see me, Tony Soprano, with
a slice.

Whoa! I just remembered, I actually do own the name MobStar! Bought it on a
lark, and you'd have to be old to understand why (Wordstar etc.) but I
scored that name a long time ago. I used it in various presentations,
because most such are very dry, so I chose to go in the Tony Soprano
software vein -- yous gotyas pharmatceutical and companionship and and risk
modules, plus yous gotta move girls from here to there so they don't get
stale, and yous got "break arms or legs or both" reports. This business is
tough. Add on encryption and I definitely don't want my wives or partners to
be able to read the data.

I've thought about this, but at the end of the day, what caused me to pass
is the tech-support part of the equation. 3am: "Yo, Arthur, we got a shoe
ovah heah. You gotta wipe this like a newborn baby. I mean clean." Although
I detected a significant market here, ultimately I chose to pass. Several
bikers arrive at your home at 3am and point out that's there's a bug in your
routine xxyyzz. No thanks!

So there you go. On a lark, I bought the name MobStar. Now I'm afraid to
sell it. LOL.
