>I taught PC databases at a community college from 1985-1990. We taught students that dBASE III+, FoxBase, and FoxPro 2.0 were end-user tools that you could also program if you got really good at them. And that was the mentality.

FWIW, I taught a service course at a large university from '89 to '91. We taught Word, Lotus 1-2-3 and dBase III+, all for end-users. The idea was that these were tools in your toolkit for getting your work done. We were teaching pretty much all the students, except the Computer Science majors.
