FP Chat Room

[Dennis Malen]

Last night was a wonderful experience. It was nice to finally speak to everyone instead of writing. That being said I have a couple of observations:

1. Walter: I love AIX as the most reliable system I have ever been on. I can not afford to be done one day. AIX is the Mercedes or Cadillac of operating systems. I need AIX and filePro should support my request. They say they support it and they should. I shouldn't be inconvenienced to test another operating system that is never going to be as reliable.

2. The Format Of The Meeting: The chat room started out with very few questions. John had to move us along. We should have an agenda, especially if we have Ken & Laura. One of the best parts of the evening was when Ken started to think of approaches that many of you were not aware of. Perhaps next time if we as a group are desirous to cover a particular area of filePro both Ken and Laura would prepare in advance on what they would like to present to us instead of thinking of it on the fly. They have so much knowledge, the group should try to channel their special expertise in the right direction. For example, we could have one evening on printer's and their implementation along with how to print certain things like bar codes. For that Jim Asman would be the moderator or guest lecturer. So many of you have such knowledge that I am in awe. I've been using filepro since 1979 and I don't want to stop. The list and the filepro chat room keep me in the game, and more especially the flexibility of the filePro program itself. I know people complain about what it can't do but we must emphasize what it can do. I have been able to do everything that every one of my competition does and more. filePro is amazing.

That's my take!

Again, we had a lot of very bright and well meaning people in the chat room last night. Let's take advantage of it perhaps in a more structured environment.
