Hmmm...well I would dispute the ratio based on what I've seen here..hhaha. The gig is a contract ...as for the high prices, I"m willing to deal with it due to the surroundings..:)

>Plus I heard there are more guys than girls so between that and high prices what the hell are you doing there?? ;-) Contract or permanent?

>>>I left at the same time you left florida 4 years ago, came as a contractor for a 1-2 year contract and ended up staying full time, life is full of twists and turns; evil snow here but more fun for a single guy! ;-). So what's the deal with the evil cost of living in Hawaii? ;-)

>>Yeah it's expensive alright. 14 bucks for a gallon of milk, 7 bucks for tube of toothpaste, etc etc and don't even ask about the rent (which I assume is pretty good right now where you're at). With the drought on the mainland I'm expecting the food to get even MORE expensive. Water & electricity are higher than anywhere in the USA too.

>>>>>>>>>Hi guys,

>>>>>>>>>A company I do some work for is migrating their server from Windows 2003 to Windows Small Business Server 2011. My application is a VFP 9 application with a SQL Server 2005 Express backend. I have to migrate my application to the new server and I'm also thinking of going to SQL Server 2008 as well.
