John argued that VFP was dead even before VFP6.
And he took even the slightest opportunity to push that viewpoint, all the way through VFP6, VFP7, VFP8...

John started out telling us all that we should all switch to VB post-haste. He argued that inheritance was overrated and that VB was all one needed, really.

8+ years later VB is DEAD and VFP is still kicking. Yet folks still praise his "foresight"!?!?!?!

But I do agree with John... VFP is dying. But it's a crusty old fart and just won't go away quietly.

cheers
