[Dxbase] DXBase Beyond 2007 Version

Sun Jul 31 11:20:09 EDT 2011

I agree with Bill......DXB is fine. As long as we can keep up with the 
prefix database, which Joe is handling, everything is fine as far as I'm 
concerned. But, I'm running XP. It would be nice to have a version 
that Windows 7 users could use without all the anxiety. I'm certainly 
not looking forward to dealing with that although the day may come. 
Computers were supposed to make our lives easier but that certainly 
isn't the case. It is getting to the point that you have to be an IT 
expert or computer enthusiast to use even the most basic software. Too 
bad. 
Other than that, I'm cool.
