Full disclosure, Brooke Greenberg died at age 20 in late Oct-2013, not having aged or grown physically or, seemingly, emotionally / mentally, since baby-hood. But she had a very aware, vibrant personality even though her mind had not developed. Very sad, RIP - but a wonderful, loving family for sure. But staying a baby is one answer to the pain of becoming an old fart. Not sure what I would choose, to never age thus never become fulfilled as a human being... or to die after losing it all and playing with dolls or cussing everyone that walks past me in the nursing home for the last 10 years of my life. I think... the former. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Benson [mailto:bensonforums at gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2014 1:07 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: RE: [AccessD] Should Business use Access?

Well we know why the expression is When Hell Freezes Over, rather than When Excel Freezes Over - the latter wouldn't be a very convincing measure of lengthy duration... ;-) -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lawrence Sent: Wednesday, May 07, 2014 11:13 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Should Business use Access? Hi Stuart: You must be an old fart if you can remember that. ;-) Even some of these modern OSs and languages still need a bit of encouragement to load and stay.
