*Almost* the same speakers. And some new ones for SQL Server :-)

>2) Ability to see more than just VFP.

Yup, yup!

>3) It's not the friggin desert. Miami has sand < grin >

And great beach fun! Although anyone wearing Speedos gets beaten (lissen up Canadians!)

Ever eaten Nicaraguan beef or Cuban cuisine? Yummm.

>5) The local beer sucks but there are always Hurricanes!

Miami has it's own Hurricanes. But they're not drinkable.

>6) Afterhours, Burbon St.

After hours, bourbon period :-D
