>Not necessarily. If the customer insists in using old hardware like the 486/DX2-66, 16MB RAM, like in the previous message, then VFP is not the right tool. You'd be better off using FPW 2.6 for example.
If it works yes - get the right tool for the job.
But I wasn't suggesting all software should run adequately on 486's or less.
What I was trying to get at was the sloppy/careless attitude I have often seen, where the developer is using a fast PC with large hard disc & lots of memory & rather than write efficiently for a slightly less able PC suggests that the user upgrade to a similar spec PC. It's the easy option. Rather than improve the code, you improve the platform it's run on.
