I wrote my first program in assembler in 1973. Since then I learned
BASIC, FORTRAN, RPG, and COBOL. I have had jobs using BASIC, COBOL,
FORTH, RPG, dBASE, C, FoxPro and Visual FoxPro. Once VFP came along I
was excited because I could do anything I wanted with one language.
Terminal Services, OLE, ODBC, Active X, SQL Server. Imagine that little
'ole me can develop professional Windows applications that look and feel
like the big boys.
Wait a minute, I am paying over $1,000 for a MSDN subscription and -
with the exception of VFP - my customers have to pay a license fee too.
Then came along .NET 1.0, 2.0 and now 3.0. I paid several hundred
dollars for .NET training to learn that once I loaded my computer with
mega-mega bytes of .NET, and learned which of the 3,600 libraries to use
I could actually write applications that could do the same thing that
VFP could do! Way cool!
Do any of you gurus know how to use any of these? When I say "use" I
mean deploy on a customer site.

would make me say, "I am not smarter than a Microsoft Developer".
