>Today it was announced that a foxpro application that I created in 1994 is being phased out. The kidney unit (who I still support a few hours per week) is moving to an Oracle-based database that is hosted over the internet. They were happy with the application, but they were required to move to the Oracle system because of a provinical mandate.

Sure, I imagine most of us would feel that way. We invest a lot of ourselves in the applications we create, so it's natural to feel a personal stake in it. You can feel good that it was in use for so many years.
