Wow Mike - you TRULY Did dump that house TOO Early! Yeah - values of all the houses & properties - close to Silicon Valley - surely shot up over the years. But, you could not have predicted it!
AS for Daly City - I actually taught some after school programs there back in like Feb/March 2019 - before I split down to San Diego in April of that year.
Will admit - I have never seen the Driverless taxis before. Strange sight indeed!

No, we moved to Oklahoma in '91. The house we were thrilled to sell for $210,000 in 1991 is now listed for $1.5 million, so I guess we pulled up stakes a bit early!
We were there during the Loma Prieta earthquake that caused a lot of fires in the Berkley Hills above Stanford (along with a lot of other damage.)
Miss the weather and proximity to the ocean. And, we go back to visit my sis-in-law who lives in Daly City (south of San Francisco) every few years. We were out there in Aug '23. Saw a few of the driverless taxis roaming around the San Francisco streets. Very odd!

You're quite welcome Mike. So - does that mean you actually live in the
San
Jose area??
My son is currently still up there - at Stanford - still doing some AI research. He finished up his BS in Physics last year June - then, his MS
in
CS/AI this past June. Lucky for us, for his MS - he got a full ride via a Scholarship.
And, yeah, sure - that Conf. was just a couple years ago...

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
I noticed that the page with the screenshots was of Ventura Publisher. My wife was the editor of the Ventura Publisher User Group Magazine (VPUG) in San Jose at that time, and that pixelated display (Ventura) was considered pretty advanced at the time, due to it being a graphic interface.
Wow, that all was...what...a couple years ago?
Thanks for the memories!

Hey there folks,
I know - I haven't posted in quite some time. And, I see the forum has
been
RATHER Quiet lately!
I was going thru some stuff of mine, and I stumbled upon something -
which
I figured folks here might find interesting. I suspect it will REALLY
Only
be of value to those who are really HUGE Fans of FoxPro.
So - what did I find? Great Question!
It was the Binder of printed material from the 1989 Fox Dev Conf -
which
was the Unveiling of FoxPro for DOS. I did indeed attend that
conference
in
Toledo, Ohio!
Here is a link where I have uploaded a set of pics, including front
cover
of the Binder, an Intro letter from Dr. Fulton, a Flyer from Tom Rettig (yup, I got to meet him in person) - and, lastly - a sample page
showing
some FoxPro for DOS UI examples: https://imgur.com/a/ejfZjjS
I bet there has to be someone who might truly Covet this conference
Binder
more than me. Maybe I should post about it on the web - even put it up
for
sale on EBay (or even auction it off). But, I really don't know...
Anyway - I wanted to share it here 1st!
Regards, Kurt
