There you go!

Just popped into inprise.com for a few minutes of poking around.

Immediately noted three funny things:

Wasn't BORLand's official name Borland International? So if in the splash page they are going to say Inprise Corporation should they not put the full name as Borland International??? If they did use Borland only they should have said "Borland becames Inprise" - then again this sounds dumb so forget it.

Though I like the objects on (building) blocks metaphor (most excellent) does this mean (from the web pages) that the red and black is all gone??? Personally I liked the fiesty red and black el matador type fighting spirit. Yellow is for chickens.

Finally in Del's letter he says VSGN completed on April 27, 1998 - now is it just me or didn't VSGN complete on Feb. 27, 1998. Just a slip up or something more sinister is hiding under the bed...
