>The latest edition of Upside Magazine (December 2000) mentions FoxPro in passing. Unfortunately, it isn't great...The article "16 hours in the Life of Lotus" is about a day in the life of the president of Lotus, Al Zollar.

>...an American independent sales vendor (ISV), BinaryTree.com, named to the Inc. 500 in 1999, that has built a Linux product called "easyMerchant," which is one of the first Linux-based products for e-commerce. The meeting starts on common ground: with the BinaryTree president, Tom Schramski, laughing about how much hatred there is in the U.S. Linux community for Microsoft.

>Schramski is a former FoxPro developer. He reminds everyone how slow and painful a death Microsoft wrought on FoxPro after Microsoft acquired that company and its popular database product. It was that experience that drove him away from developing for "those nefarious guys" in Redmond, and toward Lotus Notes.

About 6-7 years ago, I had a President of a company ask me if I wanted to learn Lotus Notes. I said no as I didn't see it as a database product like FoxPro. I did eventually leave the company.
