Joshua, you don't use squeak in place of powerpoint - supposedly Alan
Kay uses it for his presentations... (Per John Dvorak)

Also, why not use MySQL in place of Access? My company uses Access
every day, and there is little in Access that MySQL can't do...

OT: One of the neatest little boxes I've seen lately is the HP
100/200LX - great little DB built-in, just draw a form and go! No
tables todefine, it all Just Works (tm).
