Hi John,

>Regarding the VFP faithful and experienced, just my opinion, it's time to move on - err...way past time. .Net is evolving rapidly and very hard to master if you haven't already caught that train.

For those lucky enough to still make a living with the Fox I'd say the longer the better. In the meantime .Net is evolving and all the tools that comes with it are getting better and better. So I see this as a win-win situation. When really really forced to leave VFP .net will be even better than what it is now. If a developer can afford to pick VFP as a development environment and stick with it then who the heck can say he shouldn't because the Fox is dead? The rest is crap. Fox is not dead. Cobol is not dead. Fortran is not dead. and the list goes on and on. If the tool suits the needs than so be it. To me it looks like a bunch of frustrated developers. VFP bashing because many liked it a lot but were forced to move to something else.

Long live the FOX 8-)
