>Bruce - just read it [vbg] I don't have any issue that you are spending MY money - I feel others will, of course - but that concept should be inherent to your budgetary process in the first place as what - a side effect?
>The fact that you are spending my money has NOTHING to do with how you budget or get funds allocated. In fact, that was a given.

Good! Always good to have taxpayers' blessings! I personally think this is, even at the Full edition cost, as good an investment as any purchases I make with tax moneys.

The amount of value we get from vfp here is *way* better than the Powerbuilder people here get for their money, I have no doubt whatsoever.

I'm not gonna worry anymore about buying Full vfp8 editions, the money's earmarked, just getting ready to order (finally). I'm fine with the new EULA now, it just took a few days to get accustomed to the change.

Besides the fact that I must adhere to EULAs or risk getting demoted (or some other nasty fate, from an audit), I've grown to feel like this is a sort of "opportunity" to show our support for VFP - by purchasing at least 50% Full editions for my people. The more MS makes in vfp profit, the more money (I will hope, anyway) will go into future vfp version development (and I hope some will go into vfp marketing, too).
