Have a nice retirement Tore!

Will you still stick around here or will you slowly retire from here also? ;-)

Your son took over in VFP. Nice. Is it because he's too busy that we don't see him here?

If you plan is to retire slowly from here, I thank you very very much for all the help over the past years.

>My three sons took over the business eight years ago. My eldest son is the boss and VFP programmer. The second one manages all the technical support. And the youngest makes programs for portable devices, which communicates with the VFP programs. I own 51% of the shares, but let them run the company with a minimum of comments.
