I think you're way overstating the case against VFP products. We're not selling a language as such, but computer solutions, particularly to small business operators who the Big Guys tend to shun. Our products do work on their computers, provide better features at lower cost then the competition, and will continue to be improved in ways that matter to them. These and other aspects of the relationship (getting questions answered, timely assistance with problems, whether the customer wants to do business with you, etc) are more heavily weighed then the language. I just brought a new customer on board, and there wasn't any discussion at all on the subject of VFP. If it did come up, I'd have plenty to say, so it's not like the question is asked and I fall apart.
