That's an excellent post. Possibly the best-ever first post by a UT rookie. Certainly one of the best examples of effective sarcasm I've ever seen.

Two quibbles:

1) There is no reason for the VFP page at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro to be self-referential. Moreover the "Developer Tools" link on the VS.NET home page is broken (at 0:01 AM April 3rd 2002) so at least VFP's works. :-)

2) GENSCRNX made its debut less than 10 years ago.
