>A few years ago I was at a job interview with one of the biggest IT companies here in Norway, with more than 10 000 employees, mostly programmers. The interviewer kindly suggested that I refrained from even mentioning VFP, both to them and in any other later job seeking activities.

I am sure that if you would tell him now that Chen is working on the 64-bit version of VFP, the interviewer would be very excited and would suggest you mention VFP in every sentence.
