You know, John, that is a great idea; I just need to figure out some kind of software that hasn't already been invented. Thank you for your suggestion.

I remember hearing that someone back in the early 1900's said that anything that was going to be invented had already been invented. What a short-sighted man!

I was so amazed at the recent Southwest Fox 2008 Conference in Mesa, Arizona, at how many of our Visual FoxPro gurus and other developers came up with so many ideas for extending the current VFP 9.0 SP2 with VFPX, Sedna, VFP Studio, etc. It seems to me that God placed a lot of very intelligent young people (we are all really young) on this planet and most of these are VFP developers! :)

>Sorry to hear about your misfortune. With your experience, perhaps it's time to enter the commercial software market. Invest in yourself and write a nice niche product that any builder would love to have, then when the market turns around (and it will) you'll be ready to harvest your hard work. My Dad always said, you won't get rich working for someone else no matter how hard you work.
