Week 1 — Monday S1

Your FoxPro database is older than Google. Here's why that matters this week.

FoxPro's last official update: 2007.

Google's founding year: 1998.

If your core business database predates your search engine, you're not running software.

You're running archaeology.

That's not a criticism. A lot of very successful businesses are in exactly this position.

The system worked. It kept working. Nobody wanted to touch it.

And now it's holding customer records, pricing logic, order history - the institutional memory of two decades.

We've been inside enough of these to know what's there.

Not to blow it up. To understand it first.

What are you running?

A few quick questions

Optional — answer as many or as few as you like. No follow-up unless you want one.

Roughly how old is your core business system?

Is it still under any kind of vendor support?

If the system went down tomorrow, how long could the business run without it?

How many people genuinely understand how it works end to end?

Want a quick, honest read on where your system actually stands?

My thoughts

Anything else on your mind — your situation, a question, a reaction. Completely optional.
