A few people have asked me how to get free Las Vegas COMDEX exhibits tickets this year. Here is an e-mail I got, and based on it I just registered for COMDEX online. It works fairly well, but it was dog slow. I had to wait about
two
minutes for each new page to load. The registration code I used was “PCWY” if you don’t want to download the graphic that displays
it.
For the record, Las Vegas COMDEX this year will be November
17-21.
Good luck!
Tom

Philip M. Feitman, Toni M. Feltman and W. Michael Feltman have formed a new company, Fl Technologies. Fl Technologies has assumed control of Neon Software’s FoxExpress product line as well as all other assets of Neon Software.
For several years there has been a great deal of confusion with Neon Software, Inc., a software company located in Palo Alto, California.
Neon Software was a leading provider of development technology for Microsoft Visual FoxPro and FoxPro 2.6. Over the past seven years Neon Software built a solid reputation as an innovative provider of top-quality FoxPro products aid services. Fl Technologies was formed to build on thh tradition as well as provide developers with a broader scope of application development technology.
Fl Technologies will be moving in new directions both internally and in what is visible to their customers. The internal roles have shifted and been redefined to improve customer service and increase efficiency. Also, Fl Technologies will offer services that were not available from Neon Software and expand existing services.
Fl Technologies will continue to develop, support and market the Neon Software product line while developing new products and expanding its training and consulting services. Fl Technologies’ new direction will result in dramatic improvements to its existing products as well as the development of exciting new products.
Neon Software will remain in operation until the transition to Fl Technologies is complete. Fl Technologies will continue to ship products bearing the Neon Software name until its existing inventory is exhausted. By that time Fl Technologies expects to have a new version of Visual FoxExpress bearing the Fl Technologies name ready for release. All existing support and consulting contracts with Neon Software will be honored by Fl Technologies.
Their new mission statement:
“Fl Technologies exists to help professional developers save time and money. We supply the innovative tools and services to help you dramatically increase your productivity by reducing application development time and increasing the quality and functionality of your applications.”
