I started half and half. I went to c# and asp.net because I needed web services
that VFP could not handle. But although I own Visual Studio, I did this in the

The astonishing thing is the 'thats a good result!' response. The ENTIRE gun
deaths figures include accidents and suicides. The figure you quote is ONLY
homicide.
and its only 8-10 times per capita the rate in places like UK and australia.
yep... guns really keep you safe!!!
