Whether we like the name INPRISE or not, BORL seems to be holding up well with the name change.

Sam - I don't know anymore about lower 8's, or whatever. It was BORL I was talking about. With the new company, I don't have a clue anymore. There are things in life where you feel what is going on could be very big, or the guy flipped. When Sadat visited Israel, I thought the guy is either a hero of a nut. He turned out to be a hero! I have a similar feeling about Del after this week's events. Right now, however, I don't wish the stock to go down as I'm not buying even if it were to dip to 5. On the other hand, I wish it flyes up so that my core holding (which, at this point has zero cost) make a small fortune. Go INPR (IN PRise like INsouk PRasad) BTW is this the same BPP or yet a third Prasad? Ghassan.

>>>The new name simply does not roll off ones tongue. Personally I would have preferred Imprise! It flows better,<<< Because holding the lips closed for the M and the letting them open explosively for the P is natural. There are few words with an N-P sequence. The problem is that N is sounded with the tongue against the top of the mouth or back of the teeth and normally is followed by a vowel, or a consonant that follows naturally, like T. You can follow N with T pretty easily because T starts with the tongue planted on the palette or teeth, where you are with N. To do N-P you must move the tongue in the middle of the sequence. So many of these marketing-invented words are terribly designed for speaking. You'd think they'd hire at least one consultant with a knowledge of words, language, speech. God knows it's been studied enough.
