On the server side, you still have to be a geek to get this stuff to work. OTOH, I could toss a Windows 2000 Server disk at my AOL-using sister, and she could get it up and running in an afternoon. Desktop? Umm, yeah, right. I can barely set this stuff up, let alone Aunt Mable.

I was. Not too active but I actually have some FP Unix code deployed in the field. US Job Corps with Jim Thompson from back east (North Carolina?) who was the real brains behind the product. And cool too. I'd surely like to see a VFP version on Linux but I can't hold my breath that long. <g>
