You tried to code up a replacement for Oracle and SQL server in
Javascript and VBScript? I could see how that would be a mind expanding
experience. ;)
Fortune 500 companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the

that you understand the industry better than the people who build those
apps because you use FoxPro (of all things).
