Cathy,

...it only gets better the more you go to DevCon...

Some VFP'ers don't realize it, but the community is unlike any other that MSFT deals with.

As an IC at DevCon, to some degree you and I compete with every other IC at DevCon. However, there's so much to learn and so much good will (and so much fun at DevCons) that Devcons are in essence a educational group vacation.

>I agree with Erik -- the costs involved and loss of billable hours (and loss of sleep <s>) is well worth it. This was my first DevCon and I'm kicking myself for not going all those other years. Especially as an independent, it's the best way to keep yourself in contact with the rest of the FoxPro world.
