My personal decision?!?? Nobody is using it anymore! Hell, if I wanted to get another job using Foxpro I'd have to travel halfway around the world looking for an opportunity. This is the way it is, Kid. Embrace the future; it's not that scary once you open your mind.

>The problem the community has with you and others like you is that you made a decision and now that VFP continues to live a healthy life with many great new features, you decide you have to make it your personal mission to kill it in order to justify your decision. If you've gone elsewhere, then stay there and don't snipe at your old language.

>>>They haven't just been offering .NET training, the way they are approaching it and selling it has been perceived as backstabbing by a segment of the VFP community. It's the same for another of the VFP "gurus" - this guy still offers training, but when I sent my client to it, I found out that what he does is tell people that he doesn't program in VFP anymore and he badmouths VFP. I'm tired of these people tearing down an great language that has been damned good to them. If they want to program in another language, fine, but don't disparage VFP (since it doesn't deserve it) and don't go around, like McNeish does at VFP conferences, and say VFP is dead.
