Hi Mike,

Too bad for him because VFP 9 will come out shortly. That will probably complicate his mission. I wonder if he's really that good with .Net because he does'nt seem to be really busy building stuff with it. Why I come to that conclusion? He's very active on the UT in different threads working on his MISSION ;-)

>On a more serious side though, I read something here on the weekend that he posted that I think makes it clear to me as to why JoeBob is on his mission. He was (in his mind anyway) black ball'd by someone on the VFP team at MS when he applied for a position there. That was 4.5 years ago. Now he's out to get some revenge! He wants the Fox to die and of course, the team would die with it.

>>There's probably something psychological here. He thinks that VFP is total waste of time for developers, a dead-end, that developers using it must be crazy. Still he talks about it a lot. I wonder what a professional would say about this behaviour.
