>>I have a client who is running my app. on a Pentium 200 MHZ machine with 64 MB RAM. He complains the app. is running a little slow. My other clients (10 of them) are running fine with Pentium II (or better) about 350 MHZ and 128 MB RAM.

>>I've advise the first customer to maybe upgrade his machine. He is reluctant to do so (he is a cheapo, if you know what I mean). Don't know what else to say to him. The app. was originally written in VFP 3.0 but I have converted to VFP6.0 (I'm a little weary about VFP7.0) with many added features. Yet he is reluctant to upgrade his 5 year old machine.
>Does this guy still use BetaMax? Does he own a CD player? DVD? How old is his car? Does he make repairs on it? Did his old car still run when he replaced it?
Yes, No - owns a turn table, What is DVD?, 1999 Cadillac Seville, Yes - it's his baby, his son drives it. :)
He just thinks that an application that ran 5 years ago should be running just as smoothly now, even though many more graphics, more DBF's and more functions have been added since.
Work as if you don't need money
Love as if you've never been hurt before
Live as if this is your last day to live
Dance as if no one's watching
