My new name for Delbert: "Do Nothing Del" He filled his pockets and diddled while BORL burned.

David R. >RE: he 'got caught in the layoff.' > >As I heard it, BORL had 2 employees with the same name. HR laid off the wrong one, and >before the mistake could be corrected, MSFT hired this brilliant and pissed of engineer. >But that was SV rumor many years ago. Go get some life man !! You also seem to be pissed about something, but surely the real reasons why you are pissed is probably something else. You are just showing it on Inprise. I like Inprise, and the reasons that Karen put forward on this board are real good reasons why Inprise may and I believe WILL succeed in the future. Most of people here are concentrating on negative things about inprise. Why don't you just try to concentrate on/discuss positive things about Inprise. I believe Del did an excellent move by acquiring Visigenic. But what did the people do on this board when Del acquired Visigenic - just complain, complain etc. Visigenic/Corba will save Inprise and I think all of the Inprise investors should be thankful to Del. My question to all those who complain about Dell: Instead of complaining, propose alternative CEO, alternative plans of actions.. There is no way you can come up with any alternatives - the only thing you can do is just complain ..... Another question to you: What would happen to Borland/ stock price if CEO was not Del ? I think Del has made inpr a respectable company and has demonstrated that there is light at the end of the tunnel. The most sensible plan (it may be a tough one) is the one implemented by Del. and time will prove that..... If you do not like Inpr, and you cannot be a little patient, then sell your shares and go and cry somewhere else.
