One of the first 3rd party reporting engines for VFP (Mind's Eye) was built in 
Power Builder. Dude's name was Rich something or other. A bit of a rocket 
scientist as I recall.

Subject: Re: Powerbuilder

Around 1998, I was consulting (in FoxPro) at one of the big ecommerce sites and 
a mailer arrived from Adam Green Seminars promoting his new sessions on 
PowerBuilder, then a fairly new product, with a testimonial quote on the back 
about how good a teacher he was. From me!

The group was all in a flutter than Fox was Dead and Powerbuilder was The Next 
Big Thing.

It wasn't.

It amazed me how many antique technologies are still out there (looking at the 
folks here still running FoxPro 2.x!) and the niches they fill. Proves once 
again the motto that "It ain't the tool, it's how you use it."
