Jeff,
>>I'm currently of the opinion that .NET will cause the same kind of shakeout in the VB world that going visual did for VFP. A lot of folks never really did move their skill sets forward. I think that at that point in time VFP's star will rise more than most folks have anticipated. Maybe we should call it Visual Phoenix. <g>

For Linux type stuff? One of the fellows here in the office really does not like MSFT. He has shown me some pretty cool stuff under Linux - graphics-wise. I think if they (the various Linux vendors) can collectively get their act together they could provide some competitive benefits to the marketplace.
Best,
