[AccessD] Access poll

I am not too surprised at that.  Look at the population explosion since
2000.  

Access 97 was launched before Windows 98, and around the time of NT 4.0.
While there are many that used it then, like myself, whose first
introduction to Access was 97 (earlier versions like 95 and 2.0 I have
seen and interacted with, but I started with 97), or who had been with
earlier versions might pick 97 as a first or second pick, the larger
crowd that never worked with 97 would not have a reference to it.

Keep in mind that a lot of exposure to Access is going to come from
either what a company or new personal computer uses.  So if a person
being introduced to Access only starts in 2001, they are more then
likely to have 2000 in use, not 97.  Same with purchasing a computer.

So if you really want to weight your poll correctly, you should ask for
the favorite version, WEIGHTED by the version available when they first
were exposed.

Here ya go -- poll on favorite version of Access is up. :) 2003 is
winning 
with 56%. Surprisingly, 2007 is second with 17% -- I expected 97 to come
in 
second.
