Hey, that sounds like a great idea. I bet there are 10,000,000 VFP developers in the world, if you count Russia and India and China and Viet Nam. We just need 1% of them to contribute, oh, $5 each. Heck, just $2 each. I know _I_ would chip in $2. In fact, what we could do it set up an organization to promote it. And we could have a board of directors and officers and representatives from various countries, to make sure that every member's needs are taken care of. And then we could run ads in the NY Times just like Firefox, and we could generate this huge groundswell of enthusiasm for VFP and that would really show MSFT who's boss. And then maybe they'd take VFP seriously, and start putting some real marketing dollars behind it. And then they'd get rid of that 2 GB file limit. And in VFP 11 we'd get object oriented menus and a new ODBC driver. WOW! (in my best Steve Martin voice) This is going to be GREAT!!!! Oh, wait, never mind. I just read the paypal thread and found out that they suck. Looks like this idea won't work after all.
