>>>I am proud to announce that the FoxPro community has selected the name Toledo to be the code name of 'your' next version of Visual FoxPro. Visual FoxPro 7.0 is now available and encourage everyone to upgrade to VFP7 now. VFP7 has a great set of new features and is the most stable version of Visual FoxPro ever released.

>Thanks for the feedback. After some hard work on this, I guess it is time for a quick laugh with some humor. Today I told a few people on the Fox team, jokingly, that I thought the code name for VFP .next should be SoylentGreen, and the reason would be "FoxPro is people!". If you read this and don't get the humor, it is from a movie, refer to http://us.imdb.com/Title?0070723. You can also here the WAV file of Charlton Heston with is famous line from the movie that pertains to my joke: http://datacore.sciflicks.com/soylent_green/sounds/soylent_green_people.wav

I didn't see the movie, but from the wav and brief movie plot I get the gist. :)
