>VFP is dead and has been for quite a while.

So are Latin, Cobol and steam engine, but they are still used.

>Granted, there still are apps that require maintenance and there are still developers who insist on still developing with it. Those developers are almost exclusively old hands who know VFP inside and out (or think they do anyway) and refuse to change.

That's me, stubborn old curmudgeon. And yet I wouldn't believe if anyone told me in advance how many new things I had to learn in 2011.

>How many of the old hands are willing to shell out cash for information on a technology they think they know already?

That's it, I made a bet with myself - I'll watch the 5 minute demo, and if I see three things I didn't know (and at least one of them is useful), I'll buy it. And guess what, I've seen ten things I knew, two I didn't but didn't care, and one that I found I may put to some good use. So at this rate, I expect a dozen neat tricks I never bothered to find out for myself - because, hand on heart, Ken's style at the time this was written was very procedural and hard to follow - still is - and what I looked through CB code looked like more trouble than it's worth. Now I think it may be worth $10.

If it isn't, then, that was a convincing demo :).
