[AccessD] Almost Friday Humor

...its funny but its not funny at the same time ...I still run a copy of the 
A97 help files simply because they are better than anything since ...MUCH 
better ...every once in a while you hear the MS Access team ask what we want 
to see in the next revision ...there is an entire site dedicated to a list 
of long standing bugs in Access, the help file prominent among them ...but 
what did we get in A2k7?

...the RIBBON from hell! ...and the bugs and no-help files are still with us 
:(
