If you would form logical arguments, you probably would'nt get flamed as much as you do. There have been several insightful posts that have proposed langauges, RDBMS's, even OS's that are not MS. It's just that none of them have been posted by you....

Also, since you seem to be a VFP only guy, perhaps it is you that is not a free thinker. Does it not make sense that a free-thinker is one who is not constrained by his/her own tool set - one that is able to think outside of the box - and yes, using the right tool for the job.

You knew I was going to pull that one out again...


>I also presume that you are getting ready to look at alternatives to VFP because further work on VFP's mid-tier positioning precludes any work on those aspects of VFP which make for better "monolithic" apps. Soon other products will have user-attractive (and developer attractive too) bells and whistles while VFP languishes with what it has today.
