[NF} Question for those Americans selling their software to those outside the USA
by MB Software Solutions, LLC 10 Feb '21

10 Feb '21

I've got a Canadian company looking at FabNet (my flagship estimating software). For those of you who have sold to Canadians in the past, is there anything special I have to do with respect to the sale? I'm going to ask my accountant too but figured I'd ask those around the Fox water-cooler here too. tia! --Mike -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

[NF] Back to the job search boards!

Well, I got notice today that I'm done with my current Corporate gig as of 3/1. And I learned my Uncle Bob passed away last night just before midnight. (I wasn't close to him but he's still family.) Not a great start to February! Since losing my VFP job in early 2017, I've been playing the "Business Analyst" role since then. You know how it is with regards to VFP dev work (it's non-existent!). "This too shall pass." --Mom's famous words of encouragement many decades ago. ;-) One thing never changes though...our love for the Fox and our virtual water-cooler here! Glad I can't lose this group! :D --Mike -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

[NF] Macbook Upgrade
by Ken Kixmoeller (ProFox) 05 Feb '21

Hi, All -- - Long time, etc. ;-) Been over 5 years of official retirement (actual a bit less). Still watch the list for nostalgia, but I have nothing useful to contribute (OK -- all at once: "As usual!") Question for Ed and the Mac-tolerant: My mid-2014 MacBook is tired and literally falling apart. I want to modernize a bit ("Oh! to have a battery last more than 30 minutes..."). New MacBook with a big drive is $4-$5,000 depending on the drive. My criteria are: 1. I really don't need big power any more -- I surf and do the occasional audio/video/image editing. What power I have is enough. 2. I want mega-storage. A 4TB drive or more would be the best. (Currently I have a have an external drive literally Velcro'ed to the underside.) I could add an internal one, but most of the laptop-size internal drives seem to be targeted at NAS systems (https://tinyurl.com/y2hh3qhz) I am too far out of the hardware loop to comprehend why a NAS-targeted drive is different or wouldn't work in a laptop. 3. I still want a big screen -- a combination of preference and old eyes. 4. Happy for a refurb. or whatever if the source is reputable. I can replace the drive (if #2). 5. Yes, it is possible that I would go back to the Windows or Linux universes, but for now I want to stay the course (I use Parallels to do Windows/Linux). 6. I need to stay mobile -- we move around quite a bit. Recommendations? Half-baked ideas? Warmest regards to all -- still grateful after all these years for your camaraderie and generosity. (Special shout-out to wOOdy, harking back to the CompuServe days.) Ken Kix --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---
