Hi Jerry and Al, thank you and all our customers here in the UT for your vigilance in what people are writing about VFP.

Ken and I are still looking for quotes from the Gartner group that are talking about Visual FoxPro. The zdnet reporter doesn't represent what Gartner says/said/is saying. Does anybody have a direct recent quote from Gartner on VFP that can share with us?

Thanks,
- Ricardo
