Anybody else want to comment? ;-)
FWIW I don't know why you say "shudder." Datatables would be almost impossible for the vendor to "Fox" and I assume you're using the change tracking that you would have risked losing if you'd modernized before 2010.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
