Yeah I guess that's one way to make a living. I was expecting INPR to do what it is doing in June/July but gave up on them. I'm only glad that I kept looking and got back in just in time. Now will we be able to keep doubling til about $80? TTOSBT

On Visibroker alone, Inprise deserves a far better market cap than Iona. Better and more standards based Windows development tools than Microsoft's own. Delphi is a better RAD dev app than VB, and it is more source compatible between versions than VB. It is also more source compatible between Win 3.1 and Win32. Borland C++ was C++ draft standard compliant 2 years before Microsoft C was ANSI C compliant! C++ Builder is at least 5 years ahead of Visual C++. Far better Java development tools than Forte. Instead of Forte being 4 times higher in market cap when Sun took them out, it should have been reversed. Interbase, the best medium load database in the business. And last but not least, they are now targeting the Linux market. Kids coming out of school today will not settle for primitive 70's editors such as EMACS, and gcc command line compilers. Borland is the only credible company to offer an alternative and the market is recognzing this. In short, the best software tools house in the history of computer science is finally getting its shot on an open playing field. The sky is the limit.
