Re: installed IBM i Access for Web

I see your points. Seems IBM is giving us several choices for Access - 
the Web-based one has not got much traction, seems to me - no one talks 
about it much - maybe it's a silent majority.

The Java-based one just out is giving us the ability to run Access on 
multiple platforms - it is not dependent on the Windows OS. Being a tech 
preview, your comments can be useful to the developers.

Anyhow, those are some thoughts of an early Friday!
