Hi JVP,

Jeez, man, what are you smoking?

>>This simply more difficult than you can imagine. It requires great skills to develop into a expert on more than one field. You might have them, but the majority of VFP (nor VB for that matter) have them.

I don't think it's pompous at all. As a matter of fact, I think it's insightful. It DOES require great skills to become very proficient, if not expert in more than one language.


>>There is so much out there to learn, you've got to make priorities. The arguments to look at VB for a package simply are too weak for most VFP developpers do provide any benefit.

Point A) Walter is not making a judgement. Point B) In the real world, you DO have to prioritize. Point C) A decent coder with VC++ and VFP skills is simply not going to find much use for VB.
