That would explain the abysmal number of Foxpro jobs around the country. Most of them are to convert to .NET or maintain legacy systems. And for some reason, many of them are in the Northeast, Florida or Texas. Banking maybe? Glad I'm going towards VB, just doing it about 10 years too late.

"When the cat is away, the mice will play." As I recall from my childhood.
