Trust me, it was a 'minor' loss. At least you used a credible poetic source for your foundation, which I am certainly not. It is time for clarity though. I too believe Borland has done a tremendous job. But, I am old enough to remember the Edsel. My father bought one because he got the proverbial good deal, but no matter how you market it, the horse collar grill just didn't make it, despite the marketing claims. Just plain common sense ( now there is an abused term ) was more valuable than all the millions spent advertising the horse collar Edsel. I won't give up my common sense for marketing hype...when my fine tuned gut says get a Tums, NOW. INPRISE has escaped the corral and this filly will never be brought back to the barn. But we are sure going to waste alot of resources chasing it down, when resources could have been better spent repairing the fence.
