I was just trying, in an off-handed sort of way, to emphasize another statistic to show where the industry is vs. where folks found on this board would like it to be.

You think that there being 20 VB jobs advertised vs. 1 VFP job might have some bearing on this statistic also?

Hell, afaik, most folks are aware of this so called "power" but prefer to use a tool that doesn't bury them in the darkest dankest depths of Variant Hell or prevent them from using Unicode (thus limiting their market to just a portion of the English-speaking world) or maybe they just like to do native file i/o -- who knows?
