An aging community we are

[Richard Hane]

Gawd, this is going to make me sound ancient but I've known Howie and have been using fp for about 30 yrs now.  

I am 60 and I know that on 4/30/2013 I will be retiring and go back to writing mfg apps in fp. (That of course assumes we will get a gui front end).  Sorry, just had to say that.

Regards,

Subject: An aging community we are

Following the post I submitted a moment ago, I had to stop and think how 
long its been since I
started writing code.  I am a very young 41 years old man (no, there is 
no doubt in me, I am a man).

I recall commenting with some other developers how young we were then 
compared to other filePro
developers we knew - This is almost 20 years ago.  My hope is that we 
have a bunch of low 20s
calling me "old" as supposed to "older" guys/gals calling me "young".

That being said, any idea on the age groups of our community?  Has 
anyone taken in some young blood
and trained then in filePro to the point where they are sitting 
comfortable that they are feeding the "Next
Generation"?  I sure hope so and let them boldly go where no filePro 
developer has ever gone before.

Regards,
