>>>>>>>I don't care that somebody has different opinions than me... I just can't stand when people take the "My way is better than your's" approach while including phrases like ".NET folks up here don't get it". Not everybody needs change tracking or NULL dates or a local database engine.

>>>>>>No, you're right. Not everyone needs it. And that is fine, but then please don't tell everyone that every VFP application can be easily written in .NET. And that is what the message is from the .NET side. Again, you're limiting your options by restricting yourself to a limited technology.

>He was never on the UT as far as I know. He was very active on the Compuserve FoxForum and then started the FoxPro Wiki (http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~FoxProWiki), where he remains active. If you ever get the chance to meet him at a conference or wherever, just say hi and listen as hard as you can. It's like drinking water from a fire hose.

I don't really get to any conferences, and I don't have much to do with VFP anymore, but if for some reason I ever get a chance to meet him I will try.
