And your point is, kind Sir?
To what wisdom, insight, and or opinion
does this lend to the investment
decision at hand. Or, in my finite, grammatical,
expose, did I make myself as clear as you did
but in my brevity, fail the test of intellectual
confusion.

>>>My heart is in the URL there with www.borland.com,
And I must pause till it come back to me.<<<

You have a point there, Jack. The only reason I rode this pig down to current levels (and below), oh so many times, was because I liked their spunk, their history, and their name. It was a stupid thing to do, but I was imprinted by the Turbo Pascal 1.0 for CPM IDE while my hair was still all brown, and that was that.

Would I stay a loyal stockholder to something named Inprise? That's a pig's chance at a barbecue. Naming it Inprise frees me from this sick investing tendency, so maybe I should embrace the change after all. Sort of like the joy you feel when a truly psycho significant other attaches her/him self to someone else and leaves town. Phew!

Cheers,
Chaz

The Miracle of Survival in Namesake

Yesterday, I witnessed a miracle,
Or so the dead soles said.
I survived the tragedy of thousands,
And remain standing above their heads.

Today, I am a voice for Saints and Angels,
As I expose my grand success.
Certainly, the hand of the divine,
Chose me, to be so justly blessed.

In the power of such mighty direction,
In the strength of clear compassionate care.
I rush to the trough of popularity,
And feed those feeding on despair.

For now I have proof of the miracle,
I stand ready to show my rebirth.
No accident can claim my voice now,
I am in command of the tumbling mirth.

Too bad the others were so unlucky,
But luck has no place in this game.
It was calculated, it was directed,
And straight from man's eternal flame.

A miracle for sure, I am standing,
A miracle selected at birth.
A miracle is my gift for understanding,
This name, this tornado of infinite worth.

For never shall misery again visit,
Forever the miracle shall last.
Oh! my, what a terrible trumpet.
Oh! my, it's a trucker's blast.

Thump!

Just a reminder not to get too cocky with a little
success and to keep our eyes on the traffic ahead.

Vote NO on the name change and
Vote YES on the strategic direction.

And call your appointed corporate executive to get
the documentation up to the standards of the
21st Century, so we can get these products
up to 'critical mass' and stop this 'poetic' liability.

For as we all know, the pen is mightier than the product.
