>Having to retool and rewrite with technology advances is what keeps most of us in business. Do you use a rotary phone and a party line or have you progressed every few years with everyone else and had to relearn and reload a new phone?
That is the dumbest comment I've read in this post. When you change phones, you simply go out and buy a new one start using it. Perhaps you are somewhat handicapped when it comes to changing phones.
How can you compare that to the re-writing an application that has taken 3 or 4 years to write and may take 3 or 4 years to convert, not counting the time it takes to learn the new development language?
Besides, I thought I was keeping up by upgrading to each new version of VFP whenever they came out. It is my opinion that what MS has done is almost criminal and I don't associate with criminals.
