OK, it's a bit late, but it just occurred to me that we just passed the 20th anniversary of the ProFox list! I posted the first message on July 22, 1999. So break out the bubbly!

ouaouh so old ? and still working ?
Some of you remember that I am a railway fan and a ... fossile in computer programming. Last week, I have benn hired by SNCF (the French National Railways) to maintain an app built in 1991 with ... Pascal. In fact there is a new app being built but it is very late ... as our trains are !
I wish a long life to Profox, the best thing that happened in my professional life.

Do not feel too bad. A few years ago, there was a big hoopla about the 10,000th day of Web.
I wondered about that. With VFP's date handling, it was easy to work out the 10,000th day which was the day before that was being pushed.
Hint: Start of Web plus 10000 gives the 10001st day of the Web.
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko
So glad we have this resource! Thank you! Thank You! THANK YOU!
We appreciate all you do!

I came for the language and stayed for the community.
To paraphrase the Who: FoxPro is dead, long live Profox!
Thank you Ed!

The Who also sang:
"And pray We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again No, no! Yeah! Meet the new boss Same as the old boss"
Maybe they seeing the future with Microsoft or Google or Amazon or a boss we haven't met yet? (he said with his tongue firmly in cheek...)

Nice one Malcolm! I whole-heartedly agree with you. I have enjoyed the company of the folks here - and in the times where I am working alone - or surrounded by those that speak another language (at work - and they don't bother to chat with me) - getting to chat on here can be quite comforting! Including all the Dry humor - of which many times I had to hold myself back from laughing out loud - and making a fool of myself at work!
