Hi Gerry
>>(I should've been a doctor ...)
Well, I am a doctor, trained in orthopedic surgery
In the last 10 years I quit practice (initially for a year), started a company that developed products using FP2.0, moved to FPW2.6 then VFP3, stupidly moved to Java, back to VFP... we do some interface stuff using dotNET but all the real patented smarts in our products use VFP on the server and will do so for the forseeable future
I have few regrets and do not feel the death-knell sounded by some of the cracked bells around here. To me it's simple; opportunity comes from attitude and action, not from the hat you wear or the tool you espouse. Telling those who are experiencing doom and gloom that they are a victim of the tool they use, does them no favours IMHO. And if there are people who haven't widened their skills or abilities over the years... well, that isn't the tool, either.
Regards
JR
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
