I was thinking the same :o) Actually, I've had to work on some really poorly written older apps that were designed in the mid 80s. Some used wizards and some were written with tables and filters, and some put everything into arrays. That was painful! One system had over 60 forms and 400 reports and we converted some and rewrote most to vfp 8 when I came on board. I hated working on that stuff but when I think back to some of my very first apps, well I'd be embarrassed to admit I had anything to with them!
