   Review - Total Commander

   7.50 Beta 6 (Jul 9, 2009)

   Total Commander is the definitive file manipulation utility. Are you an "IT Professional"? Do you use the Total Commander? If you can't answer yes to the second question, then you can't answer yes to the first. Seriously - anyone that knows anything at all about computers uses this. The rest of you don't know what you are missing.

   Review - Total Commander

   Delete explorer.exe and replace it with this. Microsoft could learn some lessons by looking at this program. This really is the definitive file manager. Life just can't get much better :)

   Review - Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall

   4.0.0 Beta 1 (May 20, 2003)

   Beta 4 is about as buggy as it gets. They scrapped beta 3 because they just couldn't get it right. I hope they have better luck with beta 4, but this release is unusable.

   Review - Kali

   2.5 Beta 2 (Apr 21, 2003)

   Yeah, it's about friggin' time! The best just got better, how can you stand to use GameSpy when there is Kali to use? This is the definitive game browser to use, much better then GameSpy. w00t!

   Review - eDonkey2000 Client for Windows

   0.47 (Apr 8, 2003)

   I have played with this quite a bit now. While it looks good, it has 2 very serious strikes against it. One is the spyware. You guys will never be widely accepted if you don't ditch the spyware. The other is the lack of search results, but I think that is just a limitation of the network itself. I have found that WinMX gives much better search results then emule or edonkey will. If you are into serious file sharing, WinMX seems to be the way to go.

   I too have made a good living from VFP and FoxPro and FoxBASE for more then 15 years. But my "attack" as you called it is not unfounded. Look at the numbers. The number of VFP developers and jobs has been dropping every year for years. My current project is a conversion of a large VFP app to dot net (a type of project that we are seeing more and more of these days). We spent a lot of time evaluating our options, talking to "experts" and consultants. In the end, we could not find one person that would stand up and say that we should keep the product in VFP. We even hired a well known VFP developer, and they too agreed that VFP was no longer the path to follow. Microsoft themselves won't promote VFP. Wake up and smell the ashes, guys. I love VFP, I've used it and it's predecessor for over 15 years, but it's all but over for VFP.

   I've been using VFP and it's predecessors for 15 years, and I gotta tell you - VFP is dead. There are few jobs these days, and most people still using FoxPro are busy converting it to something else.
   
   >> What's more, Microsoft has embedded SQL into the FoxPro language...
   
   Hmm..I seem to recall this was done about 10 years ago.
