I use VFP now and I didn't feel being insulted by reading his reply. Did I miss something?

I would move to C# tomorrow given the chance. I really like some feature of the language and it's definitly far more in demand in the market than VFP. My goal is to keep being employed and I will fail that goal in the future if I refuse to learn anything else.

>Another "Oprah says" type thread. I realize I'm speaking for somebody else but.....It wasn't "what" he said but "how" he said it that set Jim off. His comments were not directed at the validity of the assertion, just the manner of presentation. He essentially said that anybody with equal VFP and C# skills who chooses VFP is an idiot.
