Bill Anderson was also an expert at finding duplicate hot keys in the menu system, and it was amazing at how often there were bugs in the menu hot keys in new versions and after menu changes.

While GenScrnX worked properly on the Mac, I spent less than one day total testing it on the Mac, and until 2008 when I got a Mac Mini, those few hours in 1993 was the ONLY time I had used a Mac (in a lab room at JPL) in my entire life. Now I use my Mac Mini as my primary machine in front of me with MS remote desktop for Mac connected via a window to my Win7 notebook PC. I also remember seeing yahoo.com on the internet in the Mosaic browser at JPL in 1993, and some guy Chinese developer (younger than me, and I was 27) claiming that the world wide web was the future of client-server computing. :)

>Bill often had a very high number of bug counts in VFP betas because he would report every incorrect spelling, grammar error, etc. They became known and "nits" from the term "nit picky" to the Fox team and beta testers because they didn't affect the functionality. Many of the nits were fixed, but not all. I'll be in the LA area this fall, but just passing through and unfortunately, won't have time to visit with Bill and others there. I'm speaking at Silicon Valley Code Camp Oct 8-9, then San Luis Obispo .NET User Group on Oct 10, and Inland Empire .NET User Group (San Bernadino) on Oct. 11.

>VFP 3.0 was my first Fox beta. I still remember opening the box and the stack of 3.5" diskettes that were inside. I was working for Plum Creek Timber in Kalispell, MT at the time. They were an AS400 shop and hired me to setup a PC development group there. A local consultant had dome some FoxPro work for them, so they had decided to go that way. I use GenScrnX alot there and had some of my own code that would work cross-platform with no changes. I remember the first time a coworker used my message box routine in DOS instead of Windows. He said, "It's works! You're a genius!"
