Please don't take this the wrong way, but I thought I beta tested fileProOBDC in 
2003 leading up to the developer conference. I'm guessing you meant 1-2 years.

My point is that from any perspective, an 80 user network of filePro for Windows 
significantly loses out on just about any metric I can think of... Cost, speed, 
performance, uptime, and reliability. The only metric it wins is the ability to 
use OBDC data sources.
