    MySQL is a database, yet I hardly think you'd call it "access-like".

    True. The people who use Access know that they're newbies using entry-level tools.

    Dang. Couldn't resist. Oh, and Abiword and Kword are better than OpenOffice, KDE rocks, and Mozilla is better than Firefox. Did I forget anything?

    I've heard that if you stick bad ECC RAM up your ass, the bile acids will clean off the faulty transistors. It sometimes takes four, perhaps five, cleaning attempts before it works. Also, don't come complaining to me if they get stuck!
