[AccessD] Action Pack Subscribers

It is worth the bucks to me.  I have three servers and three laptops and I
use the software to host SQL Server 2005 on the servers as well as office
for all of my computers.  I have two machines running Server 2003 with SQL
Server 2005, and 5 computers running XP Pro.  I am supposed to migrate all
of those XP machines to Vista but it would destroy my life doing so.  I also
run Office 2003 on three machines regularly and have installed 2007 to start
playing with and get used to.  All told it would cost me a thousand or two
more than I pay for the software I use so I do the action pack.

=========Gotta be a partner too? Lets me out. Of course, I'm not interested
in the Action Pack -- just a few pieces of updated software. Most of the
time, I can get them from publishers if I really need them though.

I jump through too many hoops as it is. I'm sure the logic of all this makes
sense to them. If I weren't so old, I'd shift to non-Microsoft products, but
at this stage of life and my career, I don't want to learn new technologies
from the ground floor.
