[AccessD] Constant copy interruptions

 > He he, afraid of the command line he is!

No, tired of the command line he is.  I was using the CPM command line in 1982.  In 2010, TWENTY 
EIGHT YEARS later people are still suggesting the command line.  How sad is that?

I have a machine which is 1000 times the clock speed, and 10,000 times the memory and 100,000 times 
the disk storage, a virtual super computer next to my 1982 CPM machine and Gustav is suggesting the 
command line.

Sigh!

Excuse me but I haven't got time for this conversation, I have to go hitch the ox to the ox cart to 
go to the village miller now to get some flour to bake my bread.
