Elsewhere I referred to you guys as Masters of the Art as far as computer
programming was concerned and in particular with regards to your "ways" in
working with Visual FoxPro. Today and here, let me tip my hat to you for
your appreciation of a colleague's pain for being on the crosshairs of
unemployment.
Chet. You keep on airing your perceptions of the system that is intent on
taking your livelihood away.
Twenty years ago, I was under the same crosshairs, and indeed the shot was
fired. I did not do what you are doing. I think what you are doing is
healthier. Later, though I did recover (in the process I lost a house here,
a house in PR, did my dependency stint with the Salvation Army and the local
United Way agencies, in order to provide for five children and a wife. I saw
the bottom. I tasted gutter).
Today at 62, I am doing my calculations for retirement, everything looks
great., and although I did not believe, at the time, the empathic and
sympathetic words of most people around me, today I feel quite different.
To end with a trite observation: Lions don't need to roar, except when they
are in pain! Go for it Chet... Get better soon. :()
Oh, and the cooler the better. Continue prepared and ready, you know what
some say about being lucky and being prepared.... ;)
Oh, and Ted, Did the company ever found out who was stealing the money? (Bad
joke!?)
Best regards to all you guys and gals.

That into which I put the most value!
