How many such 'free' events are there outside of MS' continuous push towards .NET and related????

Are you implying that one cannot provide free contributions to a community without Microsoft? <s>

Two statements were made by Craig and Tamar:

"Whil felt (and continues to feel) a huge responsibility for the VFP community. "
"He never quit using Fox or supporting the community"

I'm simply asking what Whil has contributed to the VFP community in recent times, that wasn't tied to a $$$ stream. Certainly one would agree that community work/community endeavors include contributions outside of commercial venues?
