How about just a few articles dealing with VFP/.NET interop?? This has got to be of interest for vfp developers that don't want to necessarily rewrite everything in C# or VB.NET. Also, I'd just like to see a few articles (just a few!) on developing vfp web services or vfp web apps. I find it hard to understand why there seems to be so few articles on these subjects in light of the fact that the web and .NET are playing more and more important roles in developer's applications...

>>I am sitting here with my renewal notice and am asking myself if it is worth it to re-order the FoxPro Advisor once again. It seems to me that the magazine has taken quite a beating over the years and has shrunk from what it once was. Advisor now wants 69.00 for 12 issues. I'm hesitating on re-newing my subscription because I do not see the worth that was once there; and for even less money in years past, you received much more in articles, sample code, third party product reviews, etc.

>Both FoxPro Advisor and FoxTalk 2.0 have many VFP 9.0 and other (VFP 8.0, etc) articles coming out each month now, and in my view the articles are better this year than the last few years. 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.

>Even just the ideas obtained from the articles may be worth one or two hours of work time per year. If someone is looking for a reason not to renew, I'm sure they will find one. If someone is looking to learn more about the product they use, I assume they will renew. If you listed all the articles and information for all 12 issues in an entire year and extracted all the specific details useful to one person, you may find that it is hard to justify not renewing.

>When I was doing development in the 90s, I personally paid for about a dozen magazine subscriptions and never questions the value. Information is the most valuable commodity we know, as quoted by Gordon Gecko in the movie Wall Street. :) I'm not saying to anyone they should renew or not. I'm just suggesting to take a very close look at the cost of not renewing which is the cost of the loss of ideas and information from 12 issues.
