>>I seem to have missed the beginning of the thread, and once again, I am eager to track down the source, and verify whether it is reputeable etc.

>>Admittedly, we hear this thread/story every once in awhile, and being a good programmer/analyst/consultant I must follow up on these rumours.

>>So please, do not FLAME me for asking, it is my duty to my clients to ascertain what is truth, and what is fiction!!

>The most recent story is that Foxpro was not Y1900 compliant. These grumpy guys, I mean Foxpro programmers, just cheated clients for the last 100 years. It's true story, one friend of mine spoke with another friend who was told this by one guy who held very important position in Microsoft from 1896 to 1902. Their payroll system was written in FoxBase-- and he still misses couple checks from Jan. 1900, so you understand how good his memory is.
Firstly LOL
I also noticed that their are 4 (count'em 4) complete sentences in your post, further proof that we are living in strange times.
