Hi, Jay,

Same here, I discovered dBase III in 1986, and then Fox a little over a year later, and the rest was history. dBase III was a very important product for many of our careers.

In a sort of perverted way, Ashton-Tate's struggles and goof-ups in the late 1980's helped Fox. Many developers switched from dBase IV to Fox, and the crazy lawsuit became a "David vs Goliath" rallying point during the genesis of the Fox community.
