I have seen Erik's name mentioned as a possible Microsoft CEO some day. That would be cool. But I agree with you it wouldn't matter for VFP. It was a long time ago that he managed the VFP 3 development team.

Re Salt Lake City, BTW, the New York Times has a weekly feature called "36 Hours in (some city)." This week it was SLC. One thing that caught my eye was that whites now comprise about 75% of the population. Still high for a major city, of course, but not as high as it used to be.

>>My old HQ was in Park City Utah - speaking of absolutes. A women was walking a trail using her "Palm" (3G) and Google maps to navigate her nightly "regularity" stroll, and was struck (or almost struck) by a car because the map was out of date. She's now suing Google for her misdirection. On a side note - the shock of seeing the car careening towards her went a long way in relieving her "regularity" issues. :)
