==Ohhhhh, God, you gotta be kidding! Maybe I'll have to glance at your web page after all, just for grins! No worry, I don't believe in scanning addresses or hacking or anything remotely similar: Any vetting I might do, if I do, will be kept to myself unless you do something to cause it to be released.
== You'll probably get upset at this and take more offense than I intend, but ... boy, you are one of the more mixed up members of the "old boys" network I've ever come across!
== I do have to admit though, after my very recent comment that you never backed anything up with anything usable, that you did actually make a good attempt at it. The only problem is your apparent closed mind and an inability to believe that anyone other than you knows anything about anything is not only egocentric, but it's also bordering on silly.
You used Word 1 etc. for DATABASE tasks? What would your definition of a database be? Woof! Even Borland's database functions were better than Word's, and I'm a Word afficionado!
== When I lost "my" mainframe, I switched from Ashton Tate's DBII, later DBIII, to Vulcan (same software designers/writers). And, I got into it when it was FREE! In fact, there is still an amazing amount of Ashton Tate stuff out there being used; a real legacy product of value. Dunno what happened to Vulcan - apparently fell by the wayside as MS took over.
==Now, lastly, assuming you're still reading, your posting is purportedly a response to Cerridwen: and yet, the below quote begins with David Candy wrote:. Are you trying to make things even more confusing than you already have? I don't see your point, whatever it might be. Why did you leave your name there and remove his?

==I don't believe you were asked to have a need for greeting cards.
==That makes no sense.
Umm, OK, but, is that progress for the sake of progress, or just reinventing the wheel?
==Duh, most of us call those columns, though the setters like to use different syntax.
==Canvas? "Canvas didn't show up in Word until 2xxx versions. If you're so stuck in 95 and 97, where'd canvas come from?
== Wow, fantastic. I didn't realize Word was a predictive application, or had any of the AI that it takes to BE predictive! I do however know that Word, if one just takes a short period of time to read through the menues (Help isn't often used for those who are actually writers with experience), lets you turn off or on a lot of very nice, helpful features. My learning curve with Pagemaker was magnitudes longer than with Word; it was amazingly un-intuitive for me, with non-standard syntax for many features, the majority of which were only known by other PM users. Pagemaker wanted the field to themselves at one time and tried to make it difficult to change to any other app once you learned it. Took them a long time to learn that, in fact.
==Quickly followed by Borland's answer to Lotus.
==Wow, you either used a LOT of 2 x 3 tables, or had a LOT of time on your hands! I have my doubts whether you used ANY application 10,000 times, let alone 10k times MORE than anything.
==I bet your mainframe was a VAX, wasn't it?

Word is MORE powerful BECAUSE Pub is a soho DTP app? Now, that's bordering on purely silly! Capabilities, not a name, make an application.
==No, it's not. Apparently for you it is, but I seriously feel that's your closed mind speaking, not reality. I've taught a lot of people to use a lot of different apps, and your comparison, to use your own word, is crap.
==I have no idea what that's about. Is there something meaningful there?
==You are being facetious, right? I hope!
==Uhh, is "IE" Internet Explorer there? Or were you being vague on purpose?
Then how, in your earlier comments, did you know that the word =="canvas" was in Word's repertoire? It didn't make it there until Word 2xxx. fail to see any evidence that your memory is that good.
==My gosh man, I haven't made a greeting card in anything in years, I think, and I could still do it in any of the apps talked about here within minutes, excepting possibly Pagemaker, and have it fold properly, be oriented properly, and look pretty danged good, even if I do say so myself, and I DO!
