>>Can't you just see about 50 of us, together wearing matching Fox shirts (BIG logos), with our faces painted (Fox logos, of course), and chanting "Fox-Pro, Fox-Pro!" or "We Love Fox-Pro < clap, clap, clap-clap-clap >"! We'd be on national TV! Almost as good as a commercial at the Superbowl!!

>Fun?? 50 computer geeks at an NCAA regional tournament basketball game? Let alone 50 VFPers who could all chant and clap in unison? All it would take would be the first dead ball situation and you'd end up with a bunch of discussions involving COM, data normalization, design theory, is the desktop dead?, etc., etc.

Hey, give us geeks some credit! Having seen some Jam Sessions and other various and sundry gatherings at many DevCons, we've got quite a talented crowd for a bunch of geeks! I think we can handle it! Now, at HALFTIME, we'd degenerate into optimizing the lines to the restrooms and snack bars, and writing desktop apps to interface to the scoreboards better, how to use the wireless interfaces to get scores and stats into our Palms/cell phones, and the relative merits of wiring each seat with a high-speed data connection... < gd&r >
