I think you're going to have great success with that. Too bad VFP will end up getting left behind (but Dabo Dabo!!) Of course, I'm worried you'll have a lot of success because it'll mean that the US will end up getting left behind. While companies here spend billions on the Windows patches, blame games, buzzword-chases, yada yada, you guys will be putting the money in to R&D and business needs. But losing ground in the market is apparently what it will take for US companies to wake up. Our IT 'professionals' and 'PHBs' are just too lazy do things right on their own (yes, a generalization). <sigh> -Charlie _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
