Zorro is Spanish for fox? I did not know that. Cool!

That's funny about the C# team now taking ownership of LINQ. That's the way it goes sometimes in the corporate world -- the big dog eats first.

>>One of the big new features in the next version of the .NET languages is the Language Integrated Query or LINQ. I am sure others have thought here how funny this is. THis is being touted as a major new feature that will make data access so much easier. Like so many other things in VS, this has been in VFP for ever! The ability to write SQL commands in your code, WOW! That is so cool! Oh, yeah, but Fox was based on that premise from day one.
