When the advertisers started to not place ads, and the magazine got thinner, it was just a matter of time. I did renew my subscription, but figured it would not be a full year before something happened.
On a side note, this is the first year I did not renew my subscription to Doug's Stonefield Database Toolkit. I have faithfully renewed it annually since I think 2002, maybe 2001. I hated to not renew it, but I do not see creating new solutions with VFP, and have begun to do some migration already to PostGreSQL. As for the front end, my associate is using Java and browser scripting. I am not in full agreement with the browser scripting, and Java is not quite where I want to be. I plan to tear into Dabo in 2008 for new projects, and dig into Python as well. I do not plan to replace my VFP apps with newer Open Source tools, but no new projects are going to be done in VFP, which is really a shame. But, I do not want to get painted into a 64 bit OS corner in a few years either.
