VFP fading into the sunset I have accepted with equanimity. When it happens to VB, it makes you realize how rapidly the development world changes these days.

I really am not one of those who wants to cling to the past. I have spent quite a bit of my own time learning C#.NET and more recently ASP.NET MVC, and like both of them. Sometimes the rate of change feels a little intimidating, that's all. It's definitely harder for me to keep up than it used to be.
