>>Hmmm.. again you add verbiage to that which was not said. I mentioned neither brave nor enlightened. I just said they are in their comfort zone and won't change to anything new, be it .net or anything else.
You also said they were "scared" (i.e. not brave) and that they were comical and sad for not sharing your enlightment.
>>But it is also good, for they will go the way of the dinosaur when the work for VFP dries up.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
