Nobody does desktop any more? Good luck Steve. FoxPro has been a great opportunity for us for years because of desktop applications. I do quite well with them, and I see a great future in it. There are literally thousands of opportunities for companies to do desktop applications where they have limited or no internet access; or security is a major concern. I work with fortune 100 companies and they like what I do for them. They don't want to automate Outlook, or have their financial information available to everyone on the web. Major corporations are concerned about security and I don't mean people surfing the internet. A balance between desktop and web seems to be what I am involved in most these days. Follow Ed to a Python conference and see how "painful" it is. Maybe there are no database frameworks because no one can do it! Dabo is no trivial undertaking! I love you man and you are a champ in the kitchen, but why do you hang around here anyway?
