[AccessD] OT Tuesday? FW: The Most Collectible PCs

Hi John

You could have written her a macro or two. Oh boy, brings back memories struggling with the curly brackets. I wrote about 1990 in WP 5.x a lot of macros for clients - it was dark ages compared to now.

LOL.  There was no future in WP.  I kept telling her to email you with her
questions but she refused...  What was I to do?

Hi John

That was indeed a cruel action. Word 2.0 to replace WP ... she has my
sympathy.

My wife harasses me to this day about deleting WP from her computer when I
tired of supporting (her using) it after I had switched to Word back in the
mid 90s.

My first PC came with WordStar, VisiCalc and dBASE II, plus CP/M. I learned
WS in two days, VC in two days, and I've spent the rest of my life trying to
learn databases LOL.
