This is useful information, too. But what some people might like to know is: "Why join a VFUG, if I can get all required information at my favorite on-line discussion group". This may not be true, but is it your impression that face-to-face meetings offer additional information? - Apart from the free gifts, I mean.

Is the term "Visual FoxPro User Group" anybodies trademark, or should we invent our own term (e.g.: "GPF", Spanish for "FoxPro Programmers' Group"!).

But do you think it would be a problem to call our UG "Cochabamba Visual FoxPro User-Group" or anything similar, that contains the name "FoxPro"?

The MS site seems to be especially interesting.

Thanks for all the information!
