>We use VFP in our shop, but we did not attend any VFP conferences last year, nor the year before. The year before we attended Delphi training. However, both years our VP attended Comdex. We have not discontinued using VFP regardless of conference attendance. I do not see the comparison between VFP and Comdex. A more relevant comparison may be between VFP and VB or VFP and Delphi...

Precisely! Another voice of reason, but then you usually are. :)
