You are foolish to try and use Apple as a case study for BORL. Apple used the same M.O. of laying of people with downsizing as an excuse and then replaced them with cheap foreign labor. My ex-roommate and his girlfriend(both software engineers) were both downsized by Apple. When they went back to visit the company their old jobs were being done by immigrant labor. Borland is doing the same thing, they are actively recruiting in India and England. Anybody who researched BORL a year ago, saw 6 as an excellent opportunity to buy. I bought BORL at $6 in January of 1966 and last year. I may consider it again if it gets back to that level. I will also take the bottle of Dom Perignon, thanks. The old Santa's Village is now located at Sorenson's resort. Where is that?

Borl is a provider of premium enterprise development tools. They have successfully moved for the commodity PC tools to expensive, high-margin enterprise. At the risk of i) stating the obvious, and ii) antagonising those who believe the turnaround is already over and done with, let me offer a slight amendment to your comment: "Borl has laid plans to become a provider of premium enterprise development tools. They hope to move away from the commodity PC tools market into the higher unit-price, high-margin enterprise development market." There's no problem with being optimistic, but pulling the wool over ones own eyes can often be counterproductive.
