No reflection on DevCon since I have not attended those, but that is exactly

what happened to the user group here in the Albany, NY area.

This group is now the Capital District Application Developers Users Group.

While it was done with the best intentions of expanding the horizons of the

"old timers", it certainly did me a dis-service, as the content of the

sessions expanded (read diluted) into non Visual FoxPro matters... or the

VFP focus gradually shrunk... :( I had to stop going.

No offense intended to the great talent of the Albany area programmers. I

wish my development phase were at a point where I could seek to expand my

languages and databases, but for now, Spanish, English and VFP has to be my

limit. ;)

*Peace!*

* My opinion of the 2003 DevCon was, in a word, flat.

*

* The keynote had much too much focus on .NET. By the time the

* attendees

* recovered from the keynote, the conference was over. That was it in a

* nutshell.

*

* No toast to the Toms, but it wouldn't have worked anyway. Only a few

* people would have joined in the celebration.

*

* I'll type up a much longer version of events when time permits...
