Don't hate anyone or anything, William. Just try to support those who might be there for the common good. I had 3.1, and I was there on the day 95 came out. That organisation has brought a tremendous lot of pleasure into my life. But I do try to keep a balanced look at it all ... and when I look at a photo of the little group of altruistic students right at the beginning of microsoft, I feel sad that it all turned out the way it has. I don't believe the amount of profit one makes proves one's real worth. Cheers, all. No nastiness, no getting at anybody in my observations, just how it seems to me, that's all. 2009/8/5 William Hindman <wdhindman at dejpolsystems.com> > > ...so you hate MS ...I don't let my politics interfere with my work. > ...I use Bing because I prefer the results I get ...if another search > engine > gave me better results, I'd use it. > > William > > -------------------------------------------------- > From: "Paul Rodgers" <paulrster at gmail.com> > Sent: Wednesday, August 05, 2009 5:22 AM > To: "Access Developers discussion and problem solving" > <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> > Subject: Re: [AccessD] Bing vs Google > > > Of course, it's a battle between giants that we can't win.
