Jim,

>And I know that, in *my* case, the day that I am pushed out of VFP by MS is the day that I look very seriously at a non-MS world. If faced with a full relearn anyway I have no inclination to do it 'with' a company that has burned me (IF they do burn me, which I'm not so sure will happen).

I second that! At the time it happens (being pushed out of VFP), and it will happen, sooner or later, if you wish to create a study group to learn a new tool, I'll be very happy if you call me to join < s >

Regards,

Fernando
