John,

Great information and presentation. This is the very knowledgable and professional JVP that I had come to respect. Don't take this the wrong way, but lately with your bluntness in most threads it is great to see a sort of change in you'r post today. You comments in the "Whole question of the future of VFP and direction of MS" and here are the type of information and presentation that I have come to expect from someone of your experience. I mean this in the best way possible when I say thank you and keep it up.

For what its worth I am in your camp on the issues regarding VFP, VB, VS etc... I think that with the good discussions you are having here now some of the other individuals might start to see the light. Some just have to be tricked to do something, instead of being pushed into it. These are things I've started doing around 6 years ago and am still doing. I am know in the depths of VBScript and ASP coding with SQL stored procedures doing most of the work. Really fun learning new things and making myself more marketable. Just wish I had the presentation / instructing skills that you have so that I could further things even more.

Once again, its great to see you are still really there.

Best,
REM
