>>A great deep dive into the Class Browser. I learned TONS of new stuff about it that I would have never guessed. Plus, hearing Ken's various comments throughout the vidoe on how VFP works underneath the covers is really insightful.

As one of the 5, I hope you do. It's good stuff.

If I had to guess I would go with door #2. With money tight these days and so much software free, it has to be hard to sell content. I hope you try another one and hope your market is just slow waking up.

To the 120, for god's sake send Ken $10. That's not much more than the cost of lunch and he put honest effort into this. And there aren't a lot of people walking around with that kind of expertise.

It really was enjoyable being a beta tester. It was good making a couple of minor suggestions that you took. Even though you didn't take the one about the use of the word "actually" ;-)
