Uh huh. And the important part of Access is the front-end. And no one from the open source or hacker community has even come close, not even in the same ballpark, not in 20 years now. Twenty years! So clearly there is, in fact, a big deal. If you think you can write Access in a weekend, feel free, post it here when you're done. Good luck!
