>>>>>So here I am wanting to explore a new language beyond VFP but not knowing which language would make the best use of my time and offer the greatest fulfillment. My objectives are partially business and partially personal (I'd like to invest in something fun that would allow me to create a simple game or two.) (I know, I can do that with VFP also.)

>>Why not. I don't put anything in .Net family out of the game < g > (actually I'm open minded enough that nonNet techs are welcomed too). I lean towards C# or VB.Net (if would choose from .Net family) primarily because at least those 2 have permanently free versions that one might download to try (or use forever) before buying the big brother:)

Yes for me it's still the favorite either but I don't know it will be till which morning:)
