Ken,

"It is difficult for me to comprehend why someone who uses a product for about 2000 hours per year would not want to read 12 issues of a magazine that probably contained many articles that saved them more than one hour of time in that year, while the subscription costs about almost nothing in compared the money eared from using the product."

and

"If someone is looking for a reason not to renew, I'm sure they will find one."

First of all, what people are saying, and I agree, is that the value of these publications
is not what it used to be. IMHO, one major reason is because the content of the publications
fails to provide solutuons real world problems. There are plenty of how-to articles, just
not one's that show me 'how-to' on my real world apps.

Value is determined by comparing cost against what they get in return for the investment.

I also chose not to renew my subscription to FoxPro Advisor becuase I just don't see
the same quality of content that it once had. Thats not to say that it cannot change,
but over time I beleive that quality of content has declined. The articles and reviews
that were contained in it did not address issues or products relevent to mainstream
FoxPro development.

As an example, look at the "What's New?" section here at FoxPro Advisor, and you will see an entry
entitled "Clean Up Strings: Find out how to remove extra spaces in a string."

This is relevent? This is groundbreaking, cutting edge stuff? I wouldn't pay for
answers I can get freely here on the UT.

Just my 2 cents
Everything makes sense in someone's mind

In addition, an integer field is not for irrational people
