Hi Menachem

In my lifetime I worked with Basic, PL/I, Cobol, C ans so on. But in 1992 I met wOOdy (THE german foxprogrammer) and he showed me Fox2.0.
I can remember it was friday and on sunday I had my own package in my hands. (In germany, the shops are closed on weekend)

Since this time I became a professional, made Roadshows for MS-germany, am a speaker on Devcons (germany) and so on.

I am always looking on the other side, to find something which has more power than FoxPro, but there is *nothing*.

Visual FoxPro is the best developing Tool I ever worked with. Congratulations to everyone, who was involved in this product.

And BTW The Fox community is one of the strongest I have ever met.
