People became millionaires by selling out or by earning big annual revenues through the 1990s and investing in just about anything.

I know of several accounting system owners who eventually sold out and made $$$ in Europe, US and Australasia.

Example - http://myob.com/servlet/Satellite?c=Page&pagename=MYOB%2FPage%2FContentPageWithNav&cid=1113461134387 - this was a FPW2.6 app using dbfs.

I know one couple in the midwest who maintain some sort of farm/accounting package in FPW, refuse to visit forums like this one (I've tried!), refuse to upgrade, have a large congregation of fiercely supportive customers running PIII machines with Win95. Current earnings are in excess of $400,000/annum with no staff, just a cellphone to receive a call or two per week from customers who are mostly friends now. They live on a farm worth about $6M and ride horses like English Aristocrats at the weekend (though every day seems to be a weekend to them ). ;-)

And you know, they'd be more successful and happier if they would only rewrite their app using Stored Procedures. ;-)

(sorry, couldn't resist ;-))
