Hi Tom,
You know, you are right.
I started this adventure with programming with COBOL and Fortran, then Pascal, then dBase and Foxbase+, then I was involved with COBOL and 3 tiered banking systems (UI in C, middle tier COBOL -the most portable language in mainframes, minis and PCs- and the data tier was ISAM COBOL files, Btrieve or the Database of choice of the Mainframe, plain text to pass data betw tiers) and returned years after that to FoxPro 2.0 and I loved it. Then VFP3, etc...
I don't think I regret missing VB enterely although I can do things with it, but the .NET thing is looking pretty good, I think that for Web development it's going to be a revolution...
I'm going to devote my time on it, now, as Maria my wife was studying Java at Berkeley I got a taste of it, it is pretty good but kind of slow. VB.NET and C# are very much Java copies.
VB or C#?, that is the question, I like the later. What do you think?

Hopefully, that is not the case anymore! :) Well, I am still of the belief that not everything can be run from within Visual Foxpro. When I “hit the wall” I change tools.

...Y soy feliz, bien feliz, asi lo grito;
Mira, que el mundo sepa, que se sepa:
Soy feliz....
...And I'm happy, quite happy, so do I yell it;
Look, so the world knows it, so be known:
I'm happy...
