>Is this an April fool? I want a tool to atomatically convert my bicycle into a Bugatti Chevron...

Oddly enough - software designs can do that. The problem is when some software people limit themselves to what is possible in the real-world. That is seen in the vfp tools. A form with a bunch of contained objects is like your bicycle. It should always be possible for it to dynamically re-construct itself into a Bugatti.
