Mark,

>After 15 years of developing FP/VFP apps, I am moving on to something diferent...

Wow! You caught us by surprise on that one. I hope you'll find great fulfillment in doing what you originally trained to do.

>I will still be a lurker around the UT and other NGs as we still have many applications in use around here that I have developed, but I will be in more of a support mode...

Yeah, right. Dream on. You know you're still going to be Mr. Fixit for those apps, "and by the way, while you're fixing that, how about adding these features?" :-)

>...There is some sadness for me in leaving what I have done for so long, but I will only be about 100 feet down the hall from where I work now, and always just a few electrons away from here.

No matter how you look at it, you have certainly left your "Mark" on your department's IT operations. Here's hoping that you'll be just as successful in your new venture. We look forward to hearing from you here (I'm betting that you can't stay away for too long).
