[AccessD] Office 2007

Don, we are talking about 30 years ago.... and considering 10 to 1 ratio for
computers it might as well be 300 years ago.

Here is something of interest to all of us DB programmers. A local company
(Victoria) sent out a message announcing their new enhancements (extension)
to MS SQL, Oracle and MySQL. With this product they are claiming as much a
1000 percent increase in speed of certain processes and dramatically reduce
space requirements through their special design engine. See below:
