Seems all the reputable FoxPro people migrate to either Philadelphia, New York, or DC. My boss spent over a year trying to find a local FoxPro programmer (company wont relocate people) when he found me... now come Jan. 1st it's my turn to go out and find more FoxPro people to build a development team (crosses fingers). Ever interview a programmer with nearly 10 years experience who says to you... "What do mean you write programs with FoxPro? That's not a language!?" LOL.... "Next!"

>>> Have you ever heard of a person call Sue Cunningham?? She lives in that area I believe, and is a Foxpro type from the Foxpro forums... Maybe she knows of a few looking for permanent work??

>>I dont think I've had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Cunningham but thanks for the heads up. For the time being my company has me on a short leash in regards to hiring more people. But come Jan 2nd it will be full speed ahead and I'll more then likely post something hear in the classified section.

Bill,
Haven't been up there since Febuary.. I do miss some of the pepole up there, but I am also happy to see so many different people here and on the Foxgang site..

Wanna pass along a Happy Holidays to the Foxgang up there for me?? Maybe I willss some of those folks again soon at next devcon or Wil Hentzens conference...

Thanx!
