You didn't read what I said!!! I was not talking about your book at all, nor the "business decision" you made as regard its content - I was talking about your statements IN YOUR REPLY, where you said that ACCESS is a good way to learn and then SQL Server is the next logical step.
Please, John, reply to the statements in context!! You might just as well have answered "the world is flat" for all the relevance your reply has to my statement!!! Some call it circumlocution and sophistry.

Until recently, not really. But in the last several months it looks like you want to be one of the pall-bearers.

"Best tool for the job"... "better get into .NET NOW"...etc. NONE (repeat: NONE) of these are "like it is" and NONE (repeat: NONE) of these have much value in the REAL world. At best they are slogans and the best I can see is that you are an "early adopter" of slogans.
