Yes I think DevCon 98 in "ORLANDO" will be quite an event. First it will be the release of VFP 6 which "should" show the world Fox is still alive. Plus is will coincide with a major new release. Also VFP will be released with Visual Studio which will give it more of a boost. Besides, Orlando is a much Cooler place then San something... (s).

MOF, I am now taking collections to help send me to DevCon 98. Only $1000 left to go -- fell free to give generously! (s)

BTW, wonder if DevCon 99 will in effect be Visual Studio DevCon 99 and VFP will only be a part of that?
