>I am 100% certain that you are wrong.
And I'm 100% *you* are right <bg>
Between this kind of stuff and all the hoo ha over finding "foxlike" converters, extenders, compilers etc I am astounded at the sheer amount of energy that goes into evaluating, testing, reading about etc ways to think one is going to keep doing what one did 15 years ago. If half the energy were just invested in learning .NET, Java or pretty much anything that we know works, millions are using and is here to stay, one could just move on and go back to solving business problems (profitably) with software. I only got serious about .NET two or three years ago but I can honestly say I can do more, faster and am having more fun than I ever did in VFP. I get continuing to use Fox as one always did if the boss requires it, you have to maintain your old stuff etc (I do that too) but if it involves learning *anything* new, I think the investment of time is better put into something - well, new. <s> (and I know you agree with all this and have taken a similar approach)

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
