I was in a lobby just this morning where a computer monitor had been left turned sideways, allowing me to see the screen. I'm not talking FPW ... it looked more like Fox 2.01, or even FoxBase. I'm sure somebody made some good money on it.

Ha! It just wasn't me!

I cannot count the number of people who have laughed at me over the 13+ years I've been working with Foxpro. Some are even downright hostile, telling me that I must be STUPID for not throwing my money into training in the latest "hot" language that comes along this week. The ultimate truth is, while many people out there will always use the latest and greatest, you are right, the Fox is all over the place. Doctor Dave and team made such a good thing that not even "Visualization" could impair it! Eventually I am sure that I will have to learn something else, but not while I am still making money.
