>>I'm trying to get 3 new portables for me and my team. I asked for high end ones, suitable for applications development. The conversation went as follows:
>>
>>IS: What apps are you developing and what language/software do you need?
>>Jen: Several apps in VFP 3.0, upgrading to VFP 5.0. We already own VFP.
>>IS: You can't develop in VFP, it's not a supported product. You have to use Access. We can't support VFP.

Memo to self: don't work in any company which is too big for you to know all the employees. especially one that is so big it has 5-digit phone extensions #s!!
