Hey Thierry,
Thank you very much for your input. I shall definitely consider some of
what you wrote as some of my arguments for doing the project in VFP!

2/ M$ is an ailing giant
3/ no other desktop tech around - all web
4/ when it comes to web, GUI only matters; as HTML/CSS/JS are standard, all
techs are alike
5/ VFP license + dev time is cheaper than any other alternative around

Well - that argument has Once Again Reared its UGLY head today for me. Here I
was, talking to a buddy of mine - and he knows these people that needed a
database system built for some kind of shipping container tracking. My buddy
had asked me a number of times over the past 6 months about building a database
system for these guys he knows. But, I was working fultime - and, at the time -
considering my Bot work I was doing on the Side - I didn't really have time to
take on a whole new project.
But - now, obviously I HAVE a LOT of time I can dedicate to a new project. So - I told my
buddy I would do that project now. Well, he spoke to his associates last night - and that
Whine that "VFP is Old Tech" and that they don't want a system built with the
stuff. Of course, I try to tell my buddy that this is total BS - and he DOES side with me
- but, not sure if I we can convince his associates to let me go w/VFP. He even wants me
to see if I can meet up with the guy - and try and convince him differently! My buddy
suggested I show some kind of system I developed w/VFP. And, I may be able to do exactly
that.
However, is there any other "Ammo" that I can use in my arguments to convince
the guy that its STILL a Viable Tech???
What say U all?
TIA,
Kurt
