>>>Never say that !!! Foxpro is most certainly not dead - there is a lot of it out there still, a lot of maintenance work here in the UK - also a lot of migration projects springing up - the one I'm currently working on has been active for two years plus - which I wouldn't have been assigned without my knowledge of Fox and .NET. I remember people saying COBOL is dead...

>>Becuase you have a handful of people supporting legacy systems in VFP, it doesn't mean its viable. VFP is dead as a technology for developing modern solutions; to think otherwise is foolhardy.

>As far as the magazine is concerned, it doesn't matter whether or not VFP is viable or not. The magazine is a part of this forum. If the majority of members are VFP developers, I think it would make the most business sense to support that membership and add in new technologies. If a small number of members (in relation) are .net developers, why would the magazine focus exclusively on supporting the minority and not the majority?
My reply had nothing to do with the magazine, sorry for the confusion. I was simply responding to a statement. IRT the magazine, you are correct.
