You must be a very special person.  :)   Hey did you know, PFE is not only affectionate, but it's loyal too!    :D

Seriously, I happened to run across a very old PFE data file this morning, created by the 16 bit Windows version of the software (from the 90s), and lo and behold, the current Probe for EPMA version was able to open it up and perform analyses on the stored data with no problem!



Actually there is little or no credit is due to our software, but the incident does demonstrate that the Microsoft Access relational database format is still well supported after all these versions!

Speaking of Valentine's Day, Google apparently has "affection" for us as well...



Edit by John: Well it's not valentine's Day any more, but Google still loves us:



And here's a different search term (still with a whole lotta love):

It's a secret!   

But if you download the latest version (10.2.7) of PFE I think you will discover it!
