>But one of the problems with Fox is, Fox takes intelligence. It takes more to learn Fox than that possessed by the average would-be marketing target.

I disagree. One of the draws of xBase is that it is extremely easy to learn and use, ergo the proliferation of mom/pop shops with homemade software. The amount of effort necessary to learn .net or java or some other, is an off-putting factor for many novice programmers and many experienced fox programmers.
