Abbott and Costello went through a number of drafts before arriving at their now-classic bit.

Rotation for takeoff is at a set airspeed, after which he accelerates while tucking up the gear before pitching up.

Paying down debt requires a lot of patience. Or a winning lottery ticket.

Commenting just to urge people to read the article you linked. It’s really good.

All reciprocating mechanical hearts are destine for failure. The future of course is in custom grown replacement hearts in vitro. This will happen. It’s just a matter of when.

My first introduction was in high school, but that was the very bare-bones example of a phone book that you will run into online. When I got to work I ended up with the one project team using Access instead of Excel. From there I had to kind of build my own knowledge.

Thanks.

I am saying that it is an industry standard (in this industry and many others). As for how OK it is - depends on how big the markup is.

You are definitely right that learning access pays off. I have been starting to try to pick it up, but still find myself doing things in Excel because I don’t have the Access skills yet, but do have a lot of Excel knowledge.

We have trouble overcoming that at work. Everyone learns Excel, and thus finds a way to do what they need in Excel. When they get used to this, though, they are less likely to spend the time to learn the (often easier) way to do it in Access.

I know what they do, and can use them (sparingly). It’s just difficult for me to find a reason to use them over Access. It seems to be trying to fit database functionality in a spreadsheet. In that case, just use a database.
