Mary, I remember you from the CompuServe days. You moved from a card
carrying member of the lurking public on a thread titled "Use Primary Key?"
in 1994 do you remember that? I remember your description of that thread as
"intellectual mud wrestling".

I also admired the following quote, but forgot to mention it at the time:

"oh, i see... since my name is "mary" i must be a female, thus i only do
rolodexes and recipes and thus could have no conceivable interest in such an
elevated discussion amongst real, testosterone-laden developers who have
big, important clients to design for. well, that derogatory remark sort of
goes with the territory in this thread, so i'm not even going to bother
defending myself."

I did like that a lot, thankfully it wasn't to me. Good to see you doing so
well. I do like the use of the Capital Letters. :-)

...enough of the flashback.

Is ADO a dead duck? Is DAO and/or ADO a useful stepping stone to the .NExT
thing?
