Rod and all, This continuing slide in Borland is bewildering to me. IMHO, investors have already discounted any possible dilution due to the VSGN merger. Consequently, the stock's continued decline (bid is now 7 5/16) is troubling from some more fundamental aspect. I have seen no news reports, but I feel that someone must know something. Is there new compeition out there? Are Borland's products like Delphi and J-Builder coming in with lower than expected sales for this quarter? Is there a greater Asian exposure that most of us know about? Has anyone got any ideas? I'm really beginning to get nervous. Sam

I said not all words start with 'B' and you said please tell me how Baseball does not start with 'B' so I am going to ignore that question. In addition, you are telling me that indexing an array of function pointers takes 10% longer because you heard that 10 years ago. Instead of going into detail about what that 10% figure was in reference to, I would ask you to stop for just one minute and rethink what that statement says and it should be crystal clear that it makes no sense whatsover. Hint: it has to do with simple arithmetic like percentages. If I double lock the door to the Eiffel Tower, how long does it take to get to the top? How long does it take to open the door? Probably not 10% in the first case and probably more like 100% in the latter.
