It's BIG PLUS to have muti-talented guys for any size companies. Borland's problem has been a glut of individuals with many hidden talents, one of which has been their uncanny ability to keep those talents so well hidden. In most cases, you would never guess the talents were there. When it comes to talent, the specific and manifest are superior.

Yocam wouldn't appoint them in those posts unless he saw their talent in both field Only if you believe he is infallible in his judgement. I am looking at it purely from an outsider's objective perspective - I know nothing of their individual capabilities. It just surprised me that after filling so many key positions with non-Borland people, he should suddenly change tack and promote from within a couple of people strongly associated with the ancien regime. I disagree with none of your observations in theory. It was just the inconsistency that caught my eye, nothing else. It may be overly sensitive on my part, but things at Borland cannot yet be described as "business as usual", and these appointments strike me as being somewhat complacent. david

This is just working out so much better than I thought. I envisioned the banks, automakers, hotels and other large business concerns would quickly adopt Java technology for several compelling reasons. The hardware is simply an artifact of Java software, IMO, so the adoption of the NC appeared inevitable. The release of eSuite, and the flood of components which will follow, should convince industry that 1988 is the time to start meaningful deployment. Now, what's really surprised me is the scope and intensity of the legal remedies being sought. Who am I kidding, I never even considered that Microsoft might actually be challenged in a court of law over this browser issue, nor did I think that Ralph Nader and co. would be getting into the act. Here's an interesting article: crn.com
