My little dig at Lloyd Garrick, (JackOfTradeZ), was prompted by his continued use of Microsoft's Windows Media Audio (*WMA*) for all of his great "viddies". Chrome doesn't like 'em. On 23 October 2015 at 01:59, Paul N. Lee <Paul.N.Lee@att.net> wrote:

Not that fond of what they do either!!! They seem to think they know what is best for the public. But I am pretty much forced to use it, since all my clients have there computers setup with the various Microsoft OS systems, using a lot of the underlying applications.
The only good thing ever come out of Redmund was VB, and it looks like it's days are over....
Visual Basic will be around for quite sometime, they cannot get rid of something which so many applications were written with. They said the same thing about COBOL decades ago, but people are still surprised by the number of companies still using it.
And Microsoft did come out with a few other good things... like David said, Excel is very good, and a lot more powerful than people are aware of. There is also Access, probably one of the most powerful and easiest to use database management systems, for as cheap as it is.
