G'day Jamie,
Of course, the management folk here at the Bank are running around with ideas of "the end of the world...". But that's what you get working in a large organisation ;)

Like you, I won't be cutting up my VFP CD. It's still a relevant product in this web crazed world. For small to medium companies, its a cheap and easy product to use.

Cheers,

Nick
