Ah, the media at its best... It's a wonder we believe anything the media puts out.

>LOL! I was working for Microsoft as a contractor at that time. Ricardo Wenger, Randy Brown, Steven Black, and I were hanging out at the pool passing time and a reporter came along to interview us. We mentioned "FoxPro" over and over again so he'd put it in the article. The next day the article was in the paper with a picture of us laying in the sun and it basically made it sound like the Microsoft employees we were enjoying the good life and preparing for a yachting trip. No mention of "FoxPro" in the article!
