Gil;

I see six hits on www.monster.com for Visual FoxPro and none in California. They are East Coast or midwest. I have heard some numbers about undeployed software developers in the San Francisco Bay Area. Numbers like 180,000 out of work. How true this is I do not know. I cannot find any VFP ads for my area. The San Francisco Chronicle had no computer related jobs in the want ads recently. Thank God I am working! For those that are not I wish you the best.
