>I feel for me, there are only "so many hours in a day". I am not complaining. I am not saying "poor me" - I am glad to be alive and happy with my lot. I am however trying to paint a picture of a typical small business. Maybe even a typical original Foxpro developer - the small business man who got into programming because he had to. I was an insurance broker first and then I found Fox in 1989.

>You, on the otherhand work for MS, arguably one of the most successfull companies in the world and to the rest of us, sitting on a massive pile of cash. If there are only so many hours in a day for you Mike, then I would respectfully suggest that you call Bill G. and ask for a couple more guys for the Fox team. Whilst I am personally very happy with VFP, I just don't buy your "there's only so many hours in a day" remark. Your employer has the resources to change your workload. If MS can't lay on a few more staff for the Fox team, then there's little chance for the rest of us.

While his employer can afford it....I'm not sure the VFP team can.....When was the last time you heard Bill Gates mention Foxpro....For what its worth, while I love Foxpro and will continue to develop in it, I'm also investing time in C# and other .Net languages....Why....not because I don't think Foxpro will be around,I do<./b> it's because I don't won't to be left behind. There are>/b> only so many hours in a day....I experience this myself, daily.........I still get the job done....and I have many customers who don't know and could care less if their solution was written in Foxpro...It works, it gives them what they want...and that's what's important.....Even if Microsoft quits supporting Foxpro...I'll still be there writing apps in VFP7 because for me and my customers it delivers.....I'll compare profit and loss sheets anytime.......
