Yeah, I will do that likely this week. First I need to make certain the new 840 Server, and the remaining sc420 and sc430 Dell Servers are being backed up correctly, along with all the Win2k and WinXP client PCs. After that the sc420 (I have 2 sc420 Dell Servers, one sc430 and now the 840 as well) that is now running Linux will start getting my attention, as will installing PostgreSQL and pcAnywhere v-12 (v-11.5+ is now multi-platform capable, hosts in either Red Hat or SUSE Linux, and even some newer Mac O/S platforms!). > Loyalty only goes so far. Re: Loyalty only going so far, my loyalty has always been to my clients and the prospects on my target market. I strive to bring them far more recognizeable and measureable value than they pay me each and every day. As I see it, if I can use a DMS or O/S that is free of license and/or connectivity fees, then I can offer more value to my market. If I had no option but to move to a non-Open Source RDMS, with an attached fee, as opposed to staying with VFP, I would be in a pretty tough spot. One of the many things I love about VFP is being able to deploy its capabilities in a compiled form with no further license fees for M$ from me or my clients (and its stability, speed and slick development interface, etc...). Luckily Linux and PostgreSQL are available, and are decent unto themselves, and not likely to go away or see any kind of significant price bump (free * 150% increase still equals free, heh-heh). The Novell vs SCO (M$) court result the other day sure helped my outlook as well <g>.
