David, A trip to the woodshed does seem in order.. How could BORL employees have any respect for their management? He tried to sell them out to a third rate company. His only excuse is he tried to appease the BOD (his employer). Get rid of that BOD and see if he's willing to stay. If he is, why? Who needs a suck up out to enrich himself? Tom

I think Inprise got whacked today because of the lingering association with Corel. I don't think anybody does take the company seriously, nor should they, and a CEO with the poor judgement to even consider a merger with such a company is not going over well on Wall Street. Why he hasn't resigned is a secondary issue to the question of why he hasn't been fired. His contract is up and I don't think anybody here is seriously suggesting he's capable of running this company, or, as it turns out, selling it. Again, I think the company is in a position to knock out BEA but there is no way that can happen under Fuller. Furthermore, he should be given no hiring authority for executive staff. That's a recipe for total disaster. zdii.com
