ZDNet mention of the H&Q upgrade. I think one has to be a huge Borland fan to buy the stock on a day like today. I'm debating whether to buy some shares at this price or to put a buy order at a lower price. zdii.com Inprise Inc. (Nasdaq: INPR) The company formerly known as Borland got a boost late Wednesday when Hambrecht & Quist initiated coverage of the stock with a "buy" recommendation. The vote of confidence comes two days after the software developer appointed three new members to its managerial hierarchy. This once was a thriving success story before one managerial change after another eroded its direction and credibility. Thursday's trading should give longtime Borland fans a chance to renew their vows at a bargain price. Inprise shares closed off ¬ to 6 1/16 Wednesday. All three brokerage firms following the stock rate it a "buy." Its shares were at 12 3/16 in November. Analysts are looking for earnings of 5 cents a share in its third quarter, up from the 3 cents a share it earned in the year-ago quarter.

More on JAVA... This was in the latest news brief from The Economist... It was reported that Europe's leading public and commercial broadcasters favour SUN MICROSYSTEMS' JAVA operating software for the next generation of digital televisions and set-top boxes. The 200- member Digital Video Broadcasting project has no formal clout, but national regulators anxious to see a common standard in Europe are likely to take heed. Just something to take our minds off of the market...OUCH! Dennis
