[GLLUG] Looking for a copy of Win7

[Jason L. Froebe]

Hi Richard,

I disagree with you to the extent that MS Access can be used quite
effectively to teach the *basics* of designing/using DBMS systems.  In no
way can Access be used on instructing database administration or more
complex RDMS dbs which are what I believe you're thinking of.
