>During the past few months I've noticed a sharp increase in the number of VFP help wanted ads. on Yahoo/Boston Classifieds & have been getting more calls from head-hunters about VFP. Needless to say, I'm happy with this trend & hope it continues. Has anyone else noticed a recent upswing in VFP demand in their area?

Yep, but they don't want to pay for knowledgable developers. Same thing in CT; I've seen several consulting opportunities, where they want people with 3 years of VFP, but think they'll get it at $35/hour on site...
