Yeah I know it means like homeless and stuff, everyone I know uses it as a word meaning great. It's pretty much the only word we use to describe good stuff.

I use Access, not by choice, I have to use it for Admin in school. I don't really see what's shit about it. I think it's quite decent. Then again, I've got nothing to compare it to though. What would you reccomend?

Suppose it's alright for learning the basics of normalisation, but in the real world generally a MySQL/Oracle database would be used with a customised user interface. When I used Access I found it unintuitive and a bit heavyweight to be honest.

Databases are used everywhere though, much more secure than a spreadsheet!

Absolutely.

Don't forget SQL Server though. Microsoft's ubiquitous contracts with Government organisations mean it

 is more prevalent than you might think.
