>I prefer to err on the side of caution - I'll wait for a while yet

Well, I got to work with VFP7 for a while, so there was nothign to take me by surprise when it went live.

>(PS 'poor fool' is another common English phrase, usually used humourously - I was not meaning to offend)

I wasn't offended. But you meant they would have been netter off waiting, and my opinion is its good to go right now. Thats all.
