In Russia we have like this problems.

I was partisipant of the one tender for program develop.
Chif of this tender after 5 minutes introduction said: "Who write programm on FoxPro or VFP, please leave this room". I have not any words and I have great wish say loudly that hi is wrong and not clever very much. But he is rich and he was a master of this tender. (After all I found winner and that gay said that they were needed in ordinary database program - easy loggistic program).

Our local university students study Pascal and Delphy and they are not interested in another products. But I have never seen good commerce product that had been written on Delpy (in my region).

When I was on the practice in the US - people in many companies said for me that VFP "very complicated" and they develope software on VB. But I saw small shine of the respect in they eyes when I said that I develope program on VFP!!!
