>>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.
