>A little off topic, but. . . about two years ago a company I left in 1979 called. They were still running a gwbasic program I first wrote for a Radio Shack TRS80 Model 1. Once they found out I was still alive and had a phone they breathed a sigh of relief and I haven't heard from them since.

lol. I recently talked to a guy who is running an entire winery in Napa Valley with Foxpro Unix on an SCO Xenix box. He said the users are very happy with the system, not so much because of its blocky user interface but because it is "so darn fast and it never ever goes down."

The winery guys are still developing new program modules in FP Unix and tweaking performance on existing ones Running this program on a relatively new Pentium machine is terrifyingly fast, the guy said -- it is almost like it reads your thoughts and does things you are thinking it should do before you have time to even type out the first command. And why wouldn't it be fast? After all, FP Unix was originally designed to run fast on a 286 machine with hardly any memory and a slow hard drive.

Makes one wonder how much of progress is actually progress.
