You are right, of course; to each his own. I think, ultimately, for me, it is still a schizophrenic question with a schizophrenic answer. Having had the chance to sleep on it, I realized that all answers are good, but the real issue is giving a range of answers that is complete or, at least, qualified by the circumstance causing the questioner to ask the question in the first place. Like you said, many (nay, many, many) times, VFP is STILL a very viable answer (and aren’t we still thankful for that?). I guess my bottom line point was that a better answer would have been to preface YOUR answer with some probing of the questionee’s ultimate goal. Blog space and the need to be concise may have prevented you from mentioning, what is to me, an obvious step. Enough said. Long live VFP! Keep up the interesting and informative blogs.

Most people asking me about learning VFP don’t care about using the state of the art “shiny” tools. They care about delivering reasonable solutions with stable technology they can afford. In many cases, this is where VFP “shines”.

I will not go into the details here, but this post did get me to thinking about a couple of issues (always a good thing!) and I have elaborated on our blog at… http://blog.visionpace.com/

Just read the blog post. I didn’t see a link to the Profox List (subscribe at http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox, archives at http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox or a link to Planet Fox, which is where I read your posting http://www.tedroche.com/tedsriver/.
