The whole thrust of my argument to which you have responded in detail several times, is that ads in FPA, consumer rags and geek mags is not sufficient at this time. If MS is serious about marketing VFP, they need to target business decisionmakers. No matter who you are, an increase in awareness in middle management and above will have a positive flow on effect.

You know.. I have this picture in my mind of a bearded Brit swearing at me, sitting in an office chair on a rainy day but with a beautiful campus view. <g>

I think that the marketing has not been what it could or should have been - to date. I think that is going to change.

At that point let's just agree to give this a little time and you can send me that US$20 in a couple months.. <g>
