I guess that's why when I go into the hardware store I find only ONE
shovel. At present, it's the .Net variety? :-)
There's a BIG difference between tools. I'd sure hate to try digging
postholes with a trowel...
I stuck with xBase/Clipper/Foxpro/VFP over the years because for small
to somewhat large data-centric multi-user applications, there was NO
other shovel that could do the job as well as quickly with as much
capacity for easy modification.
IMHO, for the kind of systems I've created in my career, there still isn't.
But, thank Dog, I'm 'retired' and don't have to worry any more...

Folks, ya'll can all say that your favorite tool is the way to go, but
in the final analysis, they are all just tools, no different then a
shovel and it doesnt matter which one you use, BUT it does matter that
you understand the business you are in and what happens in these areas:
1. Receipt of the order to shipment of the product
2. Receipt of the raw materials to releaseing the finished good into
inventory
