[AccessD] Learning .Net

For my money - SQL Server only when you have a large amount of data and/or
users.  But .Net yes because everybody seems to want their apps web enabled
now.

Hey All
Like many of you on this list I have to admit I am an old fart. Must 
mention that I deal with small to medium sized netwroked businesses. As 
has been stated it is hard to "teach an old fart new tricks". Like many 
of you I realize that I have to learn SQL Server and .Net or go the way 
of the dinosaur. But to me that is playing into the industry marketing 
"flavour of  the day". Other than the IT Borg saying it will not put 
your ACCESS application on our system, I don't really see how it matters 
what language you use.  If you produce a fast, user friendly application 
that is easy, intuitive and bullet proof for the user, who cares. If the 
industry marketers would allow I could still use Lotus 123 for DOS to 
develop number crunching spreadsheets that 80% of the users would be 
quite content to use because it produces the results they are looking.  
Same with ACCESS, I still have 97 Apps out there being updated and 
working fine.  I have not seen any "earth shattering" advances to 
spread/work sheet and database concepts since their original design, 
only silly bells and whistles.
I could be wrong and I know many of you will set me straight.
Why SQL Server and not Oracle?????
