>Hi Evan. It was an NDA event in Redmond, so I can't say a lot. But the remarks started with "I speak on behalf of 500,000 VFP developers world-wide..." at which point nearly every VFP developer in the room had their head in their hands. <g>

Oh yeah I'm sure that Mr. Gates gave a lot of credit to that. Like he does'nt have ways to know what developers think. When did this event happened Dan?

Perhaps it's close after that incident that JVP decided to study law. Perhaps he thought "If for whatever reason Bill Gates want to sue me for whatever reason I'd better become a lawyer myself because nobody will want to defend me against him" <vbg>
