Hi Alex --

>>Ignore this Karls guy. He is just getting a kick taunting us and lauging at our fear that MS will indeed succed in phasing out FP for VB.<<

I'm sorry that's the way I may be coming across to some. John knows why I'm here -- heck, he essentially invited me -- and it's not to taunt you, or to exploit your (well-founded) fears.

Later... Karl
