Here's a fun, related story. In college I was in the sailing club, and they used a spreadsheet to keep track of membership. They only had Macs in the boathouse. I wrote a membership tracker in FPW 2.6 and then walked a floppy over to the boathouse and ran the app, unmodified, on their Mac that had FoxPro.
As I was about to graduate, I met with my advisor and it turned out I was One Credit short of my requirements. I just about panicked, but he asked me about any independent work I'd been doing for the University. I told him about my project for the sailing club, and he gave me a credit of independent study. Boom - FoxPro helped me get my degree in Computer Science. A few years later I went into the boathouse. They'd already updated their membership tracking app to something else using FileMaker. I wonder if whoever did that got credit? Eric On Sat, Aug 31, 2019 at 8:43 PM Michael Oke, II <[email protected]> wrote: > It was, after a fashion, ancient history.
