[dba-Tech] The big change

I fired up Basic4Android today.  Not a slam dunk but looks like a good way
to develop an android app.  Bus man's holiday, I guess.  I don't need it for
my career but it's time to play with phones and tablets.  My Access career
is about done.

I did get a button installed on the emulator phone and clicked it and it
said "Hello World!" :)

Jim,

I agree with most of what you said and some of what your citations said.
Clearly the marketplace has shifted, and we dinosaurs who put on our
blinkers and see the rapidly-dimishing market for desktop apps (irrespective
of programming language)... I for one Refuse to die in the asphalt
tar-sands. Thank God for Alpha Anywhere to lead me out of these tar-sands.
Were it not for that company, I would fold my tent and steal away like Arabs
in the night (that's not a slur but a vaguely recollected poem or story from
Rudyard Kipling, or possibly someone else; memory fails, in direct
proportion to age).

A.
