We are now only a week away from Devcon 2002 where copies of the VFP 8 beta will be given away. As you may (or may not) know, I have extended an invitation to any person going to Devcon that doesn’t need, or want their beta copy of VFP 8 to send that copy to me. Yes, you read that correctly! There is an open invitation for YOU to send ME your copy of VFP 8!

You may ask yourself, “Self, why on earth would I want to send my beta copy of VFP 8 to a complete (or not so complete) stranger?” Good question. Well, suppose you already HAD a copy of the VFP 8 beta. You wouldn’t need two of them, would you, you selfish bastard? Or, perhaps you’re sending multiple developers to Devcon. Or, it could be that you’re just feeling generous. Or possibly, you’re intrigued by my offer of FREE SHIPPING! Oh yes, you read correctly. FREE SHIPPING!

And you may say to yourself, “This is not my beautiful house. This is not my beautiful wife...” Er...or maybe not. Anyway, whatever you do behind closed doors is your business. Back to my offer.

I have recently authorized myself to also include a one-of-a-kind Detroit Redwings Bobblehead doll for the first person to respond to this offer* Well, maybe not one-of-a-kind, but they promised me that they definitely didn’t think they made more than a million or two of these things. If you’re not a hockey fan, I think I could include a blinking light I got at some conference a year or so ago. This is even MORE RARE than the bobblehead; only a few hundred people received them, and even less still have them!

Act NOW! Don’t let someone else beat you to this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!


* offer not valid in Colorado or South Carolina. But I still want your copy of the VFP 8 beta.
