Not so long ago, free software barely had browsers that were acceptable to the mainstream. Now it does. It'll get to Access, it just takes time. Free Software still has a lot of ground to make up, but it is gaining ground on proprietary software.

You might be right, but claiming that SQLite (a fine piece of software that I often use) is a substitute for Access in the here and now is unreasonable.
