Ok, I read this thread and someone said lets come-up with a name. Well that is nice and dandy. But still who is going to know about it.

I say, keep the name (it is an identifiable name) and lets get companies or persons to chip in $250-$500 ($500 gets you bigger font) to form a consortium, to place full page ads in Computerworld (or some other trade rag). The ad would advertise the strengths of VFP and those who use it. We can also setup a website.

In return, the companies names and web site addresses will be printed in the ad. We can say for example:

Picture of a cartoon of a programmer using a bazooka trying to kill a bug.

"Are you using the right tool for your database development? Well the, following companies are... using Microsoft's Visual Foxpro 6.0(r) you can complete database projects in record time and within budget. Call them or visit their websites."

and then list out the websites, phones, town sorted by state of all contributors.

www.company.com 201-555-1212, Fort Lee, NJ.

I guess the only thing I would like to imagine is MS's reaction to such an ad!

Is anyone interested?
