Last week 1 of my customers needed Access. Normally you'd nip to the shop, buy a disc, install and use. Not anymore, instead the push is on making people pay a subscription for 365. Took 3 shops before someone sold us a cardboard box containing another smaller bit of cardboard. Smaller bit of cardboard allows us to download access, but only after having to give out a whole load of personal data. Took roughly an hour to register and download, even on fast cable. It loads up with nice big buttons as we're obviously all idiots now and need simple app like screens. And can it do the job that every version before this can do ? Nope, what you require is a previous version, but of course you can't buy that! Yet we're told this is a better way of doing things. Sure that might be true for the profit margins and try to make customers conform, but not for the people who use this stuff. Instead what happens is we just turn to older disc based versions or open source.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
