This is why I am personally in favor of getting more case studies involving VFP out in public. This is why I am also in favor of asking our more literary VFP developers to write general purpose articles using VFP as the backgroud environment into the general press.

Finally someone is hitting the ground...

after been flying so high now is time to be right where we should be...on the gound! there is no other way to show that VFP is a good product but developing good applications... (gosh ! )

Someone want to argue about the M$ strategies on how to marketing their products, fine ...jump from the bridge!!! (you crazy!!!)...

for those who will be seeing you come down, well lets go back to our offices, or cubicules, and start to design those great apps ussing VFP, as probably we all have been doing all this time... that's why we love VFP.
