I sent this letter to this poor uninformed lackey of MS hype.


"Look beyond the glossy cover of the next box of dev software that you are given for evaluation, and then compare it to the astounding depth of flexibility and power of the "dead" Foxpro. You will find that VFP 7.0 (soon to be 8.0) is incredibly powerful, immensly articulate, with astonishlingly rich syntax and functions. Do not be confused, or mislead by marketing hype, VFP is THE Killer App that no one knows about, and MICROSOFT DOES NOT want you to know about (SQLSERVER is not required for growth beyond ACCESS). Check under her skirt, and revel at the wonders of true powerful database programming language. This IS the real deal, this is what true progamming art is all about."
