>Do you guys realize that we saw the first VFP7 demo in June 99... thats over two years ago, before SP3 was even released.

Maybe I'm picking now, but SP3 was released one or two weeks before DevCon 99.
I had already deployed an application with the 'compile in runtime' option build in it, before I took the plane to the USA. So when I heared all those new features during the Keynote session, I thought by myself: 'Seen it, implemented it, and deployed it already' < s >
