Re: Another life after VFP thread?

Art has a lot more suffering in it rather than "retraining". The hardest thing about music is "keeping fresh". There's a tendency to get to a certain level and then milk that level (in the Pro ranks anyway). That's why you see so many "reunion" tours happening lately. In general, if you're an

I can't type and/or mouse for the kind of hours it takes to do development any more.. Too much RSI damage to my hands... I had to choose between playing guitar/bass and farting with computers -- easy choice and (at least I hope it's) just in time. Thanks Zerox PARC/Steve Jobs... That doesn't

RE: [NF] What's this nonsense about retiring from IT?

I may have said that by 2015 (end of support life for VFP9) I should be retired. That would make me 68. Probably this was more influenced by my wife the retired (for 10 years) school teacher. And the mostly retired people who I consider to be my friends. I like what I do with programming and comp

David, I think circumstances at some point in time, say even 10 or 15 years from now, will force MS to do *something* with the source code, either sell it or put it on the public domain. A triggering event might be the 1st time a VFP application stops working after a MS OS change. We wouldn't b
