Robert,

At the time, there were many who thought the BOD took too long. It's just not that simple and his success at Starfish Software is, I think, evidence that he is still the highly creative person he's always been, but Borland was financially strapped at the time for reasons that he had to be accountable for as CEO.

I'm not so sure that your focus on Borland's past has much bearing on people who are not interested in their past, but I will agree with you that the corporate environment, once moved toward one solution, requires a convincing argument to change and this is certainly a challenge for any company. I think Borland's going in the right direction, though.

Regards,
Dave
