You've made this statement before, and I think it's misleading.

But you never came back to counter the stats I provided, despite saying you would.

In many ways, it's more difficult to leverage solutions to this market. Too many non-standard factors and implementations, and too little revenue opportunities

There are *billions* of dollars in this market in the US alone.

My "point" is not promoting local storage- none of our customers have used that for years. My point is that small business does not follow the "trends" like corporate business. VFP has less potential in the corporate arena because that's the "trend". VFP has great potential in small business because it hits the right buttons, is less likely to require upgrade expense, and because small business doesn't seem as impressed by "trends". Local storage is just an example of small business making pragmatic decisions because they are accessible and cheap. And obviously reliable enough for most companies in the USA, despite all the things you or I might believe.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
