Thanks John,

I completely understand where you are coming from. However, I do understand, as a developer, the importance of this conference. The educational factor will be mind blowing. If we just consider the fact that there will be the best of the best of the VFP developers there to Especially Challenge the minds of those who have not yet made it to the top of the Professional Developer's Chain.

True enough, if I am allowed to go, this will be my first time. So I know that I could get a lot out of it. I know that the payback would really be self-evident.

So in response to the fact that I might not be ready, I doubt that very seriously.
Because knowledge is power, and I, being a person that had to fight to get where I am, I am always ready to be EMPOWERED.

Thanks For your response. It allowed me to come from a place that I lot of developers forget about--the heart.

Thanks again
