RE: Just My 2 Cents
Well I guess I'm in some minority here. I use Win NT 4.0 everyday at work.
And I use Access and Fox Pro and Office 97. But, it due to the fact that the
company bought it. At work I running on a 450 PII and everyday Access or
Foxpro crashes in the middle of a query, NT crashes at once or 2 a week if
not more.
I don't know but maybe it that it just my experience, your typing away in MS
Word or you pop one of the MS Access example into a query and bang you get a
error or it doesn't do want it suppose to. That what sours me on MS nothing
about monopoly not about the millions they make, their stuff just is worth
it. Maybe the ideas are good, but the final product is what counts. There
are millions of good ideas and theory, but if it don't work what does it
matter...
