I never did go to a DevCon. But, I DID go to the Fox Conf. in 1989 where FoxPro for DOS was first introduced. Still to this day I completely remember the excitement from the crowd when Dr. Fulton did the "Modi Comm *.prg" command and about 100 programs started opening up on the screen - one after another. He got a Total Standing Ovation! It was COOL Stuff back in those early days!!!
