I remember when MS brought out Fox. I was in Toledo at Fox's annual dev's conference (they were based in Toledo). I remember making a bet between a bunch of us [Fox dev's) how long it would take for MS to drop FP. I lost. Was off by a few years.

But I do remember MS pushing Access (which was and probably still is utter trash, compared to FP). And then VB6. I hate VB. I have nothing against the language itself. I'm just still bitter at MS replacing FP with VB.

I am involved in a project that is replacing FP with Python. Now Python I like a lot.

I never made it to any of the developer conferences, but I remember the mood on the Fox forum on Compu$erve being very grim when the announcement was made. People joked about jumping out of windows...

I'm no fan of Access or VB, either. I do everything outside the main application in Python, too.
