Hank, I guess I'm relying on MJ's reference to "visual" and "fledgling" coders. Seems to me that there would be few VFP fledglings in the First World and people taking up VFP elsewhere do it at least partially because it can be expected to work OK on customer machines and OS that may not have Aero or 8GB RAM. There's probably quite a few who feel that way in the First World too, but they're not fledglings. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
