Me = Apple BASIC -> FORTRAN-77 -> Assembler -> PASCAL -> BASIC -> C 6.0 -> Visual C++ -> Visual C#. Probably the end of the line. You never know though.

I see, the past decade you’re been with Microsoft... Steve Ballmer thanks you :)
Me: ~1980 “C”. -> 2014 “C”.
C= BASIC, 6502 Bytecode (then someone showed me what an assembler was), 6502 Assembly, PASCAL, FORTRAN, C, PERL, JAVA, C++, Pro-C, Objective C, Ruby, C#, and probably another dozen or more scripting and other languages I have used to accomplish what needed to get done over the years.... Don’t think I’ll ever stop learning new languages, as the need arises.
The more I know, the more options I have. I run into folks all the time who have let their skills rust, even though I mostly code only as a hobby these days, most of my day to day stuff isn’t in the code itself, my pay grade is such that I provide the direction to the coders. Love to code, dream in code, but the pay for a straight coder is below my pay grade anymore.
A person may be a great foxpro coder, but when the company finally decides its had enough of that, and they have no other skill, you are the first ones out the door.
