>>That was my original thought. Along with the corollary that they will probably come out with a better, cheaper model in a year or two. I admit it was an impulsive purchase. The order backlog is actually a good thing because it gives me two or three weeks to change my mind. If it looks like I will be out of work again at the end of May I will cancel it for sure.

No. The VFP / SQL Server (plus some VB and Access) job I am doing now will not be extended past my six month contract. The purpose was to work down the bug and enhancement backlogs and we have already done that. There is a .NET opening I will be considered for but it isn't as likely as I was initially led to believe. It's in a different group so the goodwill I have built up with the developers and users I have been working with won't count for much. They are interviewing more experienced .NET developers as well. We'll see.
