>>>>>>>>it has been quiet here lately. Used to see 60 people logged in all day and all night, now it seems like hardly ever see more than 20 and a lot of times at night (night USA time that is) I see less than 10. I guess with no more releases of VFP it's to be expected - but I was really hoping that as everyone migrated to other languages (C# seems to be most popular) that the people would just start posting in the other sections here. Guess that's not happening - heck where did everyone go?
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>I think the atmosphere changed. Those who have moved to (or more accurately expanded to) other languages have to be so careful to preface any comment about anything but Fox with an Article of Faith disclaimer about how much they love Foxpro that it just became tedious. Afraid to show enthusiasm about anything new lest they be seen as a heretic. <s>

>>>>>>Ama ayni sekilde .Net'i elestirmek de neredeyse imkansiz gibi degil mi:) Versiyon 3.5 oldu, VFP'den cok sey kapti, hazir deneyimlere kondu ama hala beceremedikleri, hatali yaptiklari seylerle ugrasmak bayiyor. Mesela su Guid ile SqlBulkCopy. MS kendi sitesinde bile cevap verebilen yok. Kendim sorup kendim cevapliyorum. Gordugun gibi bu tip mesajlari da Ingilizce yazmak o 'heretic' dediginden. Kahramanlik gibi algiladim onu:)

And then it had to happen during a papyrus shortage, so the price was through the roof.
