Ditto me too.

< Thank you for the great overview of the VFP Team! I've also been using Fox day and night since 1986 along with a few side languages for low-level stuff and still see a very long future for product usage in many, many markets even not associated with .NET. I don't see Windows XP going away too soon and still have several developer friends shipping and selling DOS Fox Apps even today. They are being ported to VFP. But for small to medium size businesses requiring database business solutions, it is the fastest RAD tool on the market. Not every small to medium sized business wants there internal data out on the internet. Especially, in the medical community due to privacy issues. This is were I see many more niche applications that can be quickly created and made available to a much larger market. Sure, there is a lot of large corporations in the world that need large high end databases. But I believe that there are a lot more small to medium sized size business entities than those large corporations to market your services to.

I can appreciate the many more people that are behind the scenes at the VFP Team from a visit I made several years ago while driving through Redmond and calling tech support on my cell phone several times until I reached a Redmond support tech who then asked to give me directions to there campus so I could run through some issues with them concerning VFP 5.0 issues shortly after it was released. Probably the thing I remember most was all of the coolers for caffeinated soda in the building. I didn't get to meet... >
