For cryin' out loud..... those languages were mentioned solely because I
said I would never go to C#. But maybe the english/grammar was not clear
on this point. I use VFP quite a bit: I use it to do quick
proof-of-concept stuff to vet users' requirements and operational needs.
But I have to be careful because I put things together so fast it makes
the IT department look incompetent (they do a lot of .Net there and I'm
not in the IT department). A couple times now they took away my direct
database access because the users wanted to use my application for
production instead of waiting another year or more for the IT solution.
Anyway, any new language I pick up will NOT be Microsoft "based" (don't
bother replying about how they're all "open-source" ... and that C# is
not really "MS-owned" - none of that matters - it came from MS, favors
MS, tries to lock people into MS.)
Am curious - how long U been on here?
The earliest email I see I kept is back in 1996. But I know I lost some
emails before that. I'm thinking I found ProFox a little while before
VFP went to version 5.0, whenever that was. That is the timeframe I've
been with the list. I've seen many come and go. I don't think you were
on here when there was a John Peterson (spelling? JVP was his signature
I think). He was quite obnoxious and also a VFP detractor like Steve
became. Steve is NO WHERE near as hateful as JVP was.
This thread has drifted terribly off the original content and should
have been put in the NF or OT bin already. So I'm out.
