[AccessD] Should Business use Access?

I have been doing Access since 1998 - about 15-16 years.  I have made well
over a million dollars with Access.  However 1,000,000 / 16 = is only
$62,500 a year.  Not enough to make one want to be their own boss, pay their
own health insurance, buy their own holidays an sick days, and cover the
overhead of running a business, is it?

Of course, I did a little better than $62,500 a year with it and retired
this year after my commercial product was acquired.  So, yeah, Access been
bery, bery good to me.

I think you all might get a kick out of reading this. It starts out with
some guy talking trash about Access... and ends up with dozens of responses
to his rather irresponsible and poorly thought out (meanwhile *trying* to
sound authoritative and long-suffering) - blog post.

Maybe you all are tired of the debates, but I have not read many of these so
for me it was entertainment. My favorite line is from Michael Grimmet 5:43PM
that begins: "I've made a couple million dollars as a silly Access
developer. Still make big bucks on it to this day." I want to live that
dude's life!
