Hi Jim,

Thank you for defending Zoology. Having a M.Sc. in Zoology, I was a wildlife researcher for more than ten years and have used FoxPro/FoxBase for ten years to manage wildlife data. My applications do things like wildlife population trend mornitoring, locating new reserve sites for the gorvenments and environmental impact assessments. In the school, I was interested in big mammals, really hated those microbiology courses. Alas, I just last month finished a big microbial database project. You never know what's next!
