I still use Visual FoxPro almost daily for a number of things. It really does have charm in it's simplicity and some very robust out of the box support in it's GUI and DB engines.

One thing that maybe a more technical person can explain is how exactly FoxPro accesses it's (free) tables over a network share. Given that there's no central server component, I have the impression that the whole table is loaded over the wire when it's first opened.
