Walter, I said in 2005 that I was quite encouraged by the things MS people were saying. I still am. I'm glad I took a look at Linq and I'm glad I finally, finally understand how NET converts from VFP have been doing data and why they saw little value in VFP.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
