As always your input is a good one, old are the pyramids... and they will be there for at least another 5000 years...

I agree with you, but we are all in the same bus and thick and heavy as your outline was going, that's the way it will be.

Fortunatelly for us the windows version is the same one compiled in VFP5 with some bracketed code here and there, it just will run fine.
No retraining, no data conversion, no headaches. We'll offer the upgrade for free.
The hardware issue is the though one here, but soner or later they'll "have" to do it.

Good to know about their invitation back to the stage. It must be a nice, deep, warm feeling! Congratulations.
