No,no John, don't apologize, that was a great review indeed! Hopefully all of us here have a chance to read it, and that enthusiasm you brought back from Devcon, is contagious enough to stop people from asking wether 'the future of FoxPro' is jeopardized. I've been using it since my college days and don't plan to stop in the near or far future. And yes, it is good to learn and use other languages to create support tools, but as you mentioned, the SPEED of the fox is something that we have to learn how to take advantage of and use it to create awesome applications like the ones that are popping all over (just like the one we're using right now to communicate between eachother).
