>>I won't be attending Devcon. If anyone else isn't, I would like to hear your reasons and perhaps I can be consoled a bit. :-)

>>My Reason:
>>There is no budget at our hospital for education. We can spend $100,000 on computer technology, but not a single dollar on education.

>I have been to the last 3 devcon's, but this year I requested that my supervisor send someone else. My reason is that I have become the FP26/VFP expert in the office and I would like others to see what VFP can do and maybe I wont be the only one here who is excited over the future or our apps. Also I will have another person who I can bounce ideas off that has seen glimpses of what VFp can do.

For me the UT is essential. I am alone in a sea of proprietary databases and legacy apps. Noone is even using VB in our entire org. Someone high up must have a thing for vintage computing. :-)
