>Well, I was just curious what he meant, with his joke. By the way, I am starting to study .NET myself.

Hilmar,
I started learning .NET (C#) about 18 months ago now). I feel very comfortable with C# and I very seldom miss VFP anymore :) (I don't have any active projects in VFP anymore but I still play around with VFP at home just for fun) After accepting data access in .NET (ADO.NET) I have realized that .NET is great.
Good luck learning .NET and I am sure you will be comfortable with .NET very fast.
