>>Shoot, you want to feel old - My SON is now an independent consultant "just like Mom". He's Access, I'm VFP, but we share a lot of SQL stuff. I started with Condor (a dBase II contemporary) on a 1-floppy Columbia IBM sort-of-clone. Post CP/M by about 30 days.

Probably much like each of us chose FP: His first job out of college gave him a computer and a copy of Access and told him to make a list of data. Then they wanted a report, then more data, and they found out he could program better than any of their engineers. After a year of trips all over the Western US he quit to go back to College, but was called as a consultant. He may learn VFP yet, but most of his business is small companies who bought MS OFfice and can't figure what to do with Access.
