Point, but when I tried to download the ISO, I was told to contact re-seller. Good thing I did! always be wary of upgrade licenses. But thanks anyway

Upgrade licenses?
I've used those ISOs to do clean installs and they work and activate just fine.

The wife designed her own Access database and wanted my help connecting a many to many relationship. Bonus points to her for remembering what I taught her. She didn't have any columns/tables with special characters in the name (this time), again a win.
I spent the next 90 minutes cussing in my head (kids around) trying to make it work. I finally hung my head in shame giving up. She spent the rest of the night watching Youtube videos till she figured it out.
I'm not sure if I'm a failure for not figuring it out, or a genius for quitting so she won't want my help with the next part of this project.

Say "chasm trap" in an authoritative manner, look concerned, then back away slowly... that'd be the recommended approach.

You think you're a genius. She knows that she has something else to add to her list of things to remind you of when next you step out of line, or the vacuum cleaner gets clogged, or it's a Tuesday!

It's a useful skill that I am sure she is willing to teach you!
I last used Access more than a decade ago. [bleah!] Since then I learnt to do any databases I need, writing a C# app that configures, controls and manipulates SQL (Express) databases.

This one! Now you know the easy way out! Unfortunately, it has cost you some points, but she has solved her own problem so both of you have succeeded!

Where you went wrong is that you should have used Excel.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

...Herself has just sent her second ever SMS...and it took her about 20 minutes, copious swearing, and several "technical support" screams of frustration: "Where's it gone?!?!" (Screen timeout), "How do I send a comma?" (that key there, the one with the comma on it, yes), "Why did you capitalise that?" (because it's after a full stop), and the best "Send the elephanting thing you elephanting elephant!" (tap the "send" button - that one, looks like a split arrow head; yes, that one. No, tap it. It doesn't work with evil stares.)
At this rate, she should be proficient in about, oooo, six years...

Mrs Wife is away currently. Last night she e-mailed me to ask to call her on Skype. I was online on Skype at the time, it was just "easier" for me to call her then for her to call me...

I don't believe a word of it.
Microsoft has emphatically stated that the ribbon is an absolute necessity for touch screens, because toolbar buttons are too small to be used with the fingers, so there is no way in the world that anyone, anywhere, has ever managed to send an SMS.

Hah, my wife would make all these punctuation and spelling nazi's here look like pussies, letting her read an email to a mutual friend is painful.
However when it comes to texting all that goes out the window, txt speak, no punctuation and the absolute minimum to convey the message. I don't think she has ever sent more than 30 characters ever.
