Re: "BORLAND was making decent $$ as a provider of desktop delopment tools. Imagine if he would have invested a small amount of $$ in Linux tools as insurance. $55M+ Q's might not seem so far-fetched."

Yes he put too much on his plate too soon. When the Street was getting sweet (again) on Borland he envisioned the Enterprise boom but did not see the Y2K spending and the Asian flu slowing Enterprise and tools buying respectively!

But all this was already known this latest stock action is pure market related. Market is currently in a 5-to-10% correction due end of Q1 profit taking before reporting and guidance/projection of Q2. Although INPR may not have profit per se but caught up in all this by MM due lack of interest in the stock.

There has been announcements (not of financial) of purchases in the AppServer just released Dec 1998 and not yet reported. And who knows if they will be Q1 or Q2 reports?

Bankruptcy is only thing that can break me with INPR not manipulation, fear or insult!

David while most of this thread was bitching about Del the stock moved up 3% they could have be doubling down and already realized some small gains but instead chose to bash and crash their own pockets.

Opportunities abound but people will continue look for blame outside themselves!
