I would wait for somebody to shake this tree before adding any more shares. Maybe it won't happen this time around, maybe it will. Does anybody have the precise date for earnings? It's 8:00 Saturday A.M. but they're website is down but that really doesn't surprise me. If Borland ever decides want to become a professional, enterprise software development concern they are going to have to start acting like it. The unreliable and painfully slow access provided to their corporate website is intolerable but as I say, it's not surprising. I for one have seen no evidence that there's any depth to this company and that's an example of it.

Borland tanked hard immediately after announcing the the brain-dead deal to acquire money-losing Visigenics. I think Del Yocam executed well in terms of layoffs and cost cutting, but we need somebody knowledgable about the software industry to lead the business forward. Apparently the street is way ahead of Del on this issue: Also making waves is JavaSoft's decision to get into the object request broker (ORB) business, isolating key partners such as Iona, Borland, IBM, and Oracle. The company's ORB will be included in the next generation of its Java Development Kit, and JavaSoft will charge separately for ORB services. Del, I have news for you: I could do a helluva lot better job of identifying, acquiring and/or developing money-making products than you have demonstrated thus far. Start asking somebody with a clear insight into the software industry for advice, not the jackasses who think the web is a novelty item or whoever advised you to cut 12 million new shares for Visigenics. Wake up man.
