Interesting email exchange
OK, Back home again. A stay in the hospital is bad for my sense of humor. Earlier this week I sat in one of those conversation rooms where two old men were bragging how sick they were and how painful their operations were et cetera. There I was, with a drain. I got so annoyed with these men that I asked, pointing at the bottle from my drain: "Wanna drink?"
They were gone before I could blink my eye.
Anyway. In all the rush around the BAD news I had a short e-mail exchange with Les Pinter.
He wrote to me: "I found out that Bill Gates had said, to a group assembled in his office, "Every time we sell a copy of FoxPro we lose $10,000 in SQL Server royalties."
So in case you have been wondering what the reason was for finally stopping further development on VFP, here it is, plain and simple money... Ah, Liza Minelli already sang that years ago "Money makes the world go 'round" (in the musical "Cabaret")
