I have a client who still runs a multi-user Foxpro for Windows 2.6 system. He insisted on buying all new computers for his office. I tried to tell him that he isn't going to see a performance increase because all his system does is work on one record at a time. He only uses those systems for the foxpro program, nothing else. So money he could have used for advertising or adding more bells and wistles to the program was blown on new computers and installation.
