Hi Jim --

>>But I came to the conclusion that the *vast* majority of people doing VFP (at least those who frequent this site) are either too afraid to make some noise for fear that VFP *will* be killed or they truly believe that MS has only our good interests at heart and so will "do right" by VFP in the longer run<<

Oh, come now! <g>

That's certainly not my experience, albeit as an observer much farther removed.

>>(even if that means delivering unto us a VFP-VB converter)!<<

LOL! Good one!

Later... Karl
