Hi Brian,
Unfortunately, yes, I am "helping" to take much of our company's work
offshore. Didn't have much of a choice in the matter... But, yes, too,
we are taking time to enjoy ourselves. Each weekend we have visited some
of the sights, and last weekend took a Friday off as well and flew to
New Dehli for a roadtrip to the Taj Mahal.
Very very interesting to hear of your new venture and of the difficulty
your former client is having "ridding" themselves of DP. You have me LOL
with "you get zero work from supporting a DP database". How true!
Hopefully others on the list will be able to benefit from your
pioneering work.
Best wishes,
Bruce

Hi Bruce,
Hopefully you are not training programmers to take yet more work
offshore... I hope you are taking time to enjoy yourself there...
If there are any errors or omissions, or any comment you can make about
the stuff I posted I would appreciate it... Very shortly together with
another business partner, I will be starting a new business venture
which will have DP, both desktop and web enabled right in the core
business... So I am really very serious about getting DP to work well
over the web...
Sorry to clutter up your time with this email, but you might remember
the company that purchased the company that used my main DP application
and how they were going to junk it... well 18 months later and they
claim over Aust $1,000,000 has directly been spent on the the software
development, and they still are ages away from from implementing it...
So DP is still holding them together, but regretably they are not making
any functional improvements, and you get zero work from supporting a DP
database, so I can only have the satisfaction that they were not able to
get rid of DP as quickly as they hoped...
Bye
Brian
