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
