That is changing. Did you know that all of Bank of America's mortgage systems are basically run in Foxpro?
I believe that Foxpro is the greatest programming language ever written. And like the Air Forces B-52, it will be utilized by our kids and grand-kids for the next 50 years.
Just because somebody says a computer language is dead, doesn't make it so.
I should have added this to my post (#147) and it supplements what others have mentioned. What the manager did is not at all atypical here in the right-thinking part of America. And, in terms of other places, Huntsville is actually one of the more quasi-liberal parts of Dixie. That's relatively speaking of course since the metrics are entirely different down here.
If you want to get almost smothered with friendliness and hospitality, venture southward a bit more to Cullman! Don't get me wrong, Huntsville's great but places like Cullman are "out of sight" as songwriter Roger Sovine so aptly put it to music:
Well I've got to get back to my old hometown of Cullman It's a little bitty town in North Alabam The women down there are kind of wild and wooly They don't mind my dancin' and my jammin' And that's what I like about my hometown Cullman Lord it's up tight out of sight hmm Cullman Alabam Well Cullman ain't no square town no sir All them gals just tryin' to get a little closer And all those darlin' moms are open minded There ain't nothin' that they ever mind tryin' That's what I like about my hometown Cullman Lord it's up tight out of sight hmm Cullman Alabam Cullman ain't a very big town city hall is over the dairy queen And the mayor he pumps gas at the Esso station But that don't seem to hurt his reputation And that's what I like about my hometown Cullman Lord it's up tight out of sight hmm Cullman Alabam Cullman is a real in town baby The girls down there don't know about the word maybe When they see a swinger like me they go crazy There ain't nothin' that they ever do that is half way And that's what I like about my hometown Cullman Lord it's up tight out of sight hmm Cullman Alabam

If you’re under 50, there’s COBOL code still running today that is older than you are.
