Wow Ken - your seriously Threw me into the Minority group! Yeah - I do VFP
by day - although - if I truly had my way - which I hope I can do soon
enough - I'd rather be doing all Rapid prototyping/3D Printer work by day! 

As its MUCH More fun to me - and doing 3D CG Design - than programming...

Subject: Re: ProFox List Statistics for April 2013

Hmm, let's see:

 742 - (60 + 287) = ??  --- Oh, that is way too hard. <g>

I also question the premise. Sure, the list was started as a Foxpro
resource. But now? Of the people still hanging on, I suspect it is more for
the virtual friendships we have made. I'm surprised how many actual VFP
issues there actually are. How many of us still rely on the Fox as our
primary development tool? How many of us spend the majority of our day
working in it? Of those, is there anyone actually building new programs
with it? Most must be adding features to legacy apps or trying to un-break
stuff that M$ breaks.

I sure don't touch it much. I have several VFP apps I wrote in back in the
early 90s that are still in use. Every once in a while, one of those folks
asks me a question, most likely something like "I can't remember how to
configure a workstation." I have my own billing/scheduling system I wrote
20+ years ago. I have one client (for which I do a project once per year)
which I wrote in VFP. Other than that, I just don't touch it. You?
