Gene, That sounded like a farewell post. If it was, I will miss you around here. I have also made up for my long mistakes in the past by selling and shorting. All that time I grimaced when I was long INPR and saw it down tick from 11. It feels a little strange to feel good when those down ticks just keep on happening. Don't be a stranger. Cube

O-kee-do-key... well, as soon as all the requiems are over, for those of us not entirely convinced that Inprise is about to shrivel up and blow away... how about some thoughts on this: What explains revenues not being higher? Possibilities: 1. Inprise/Borland is in markets that are not lucrative? 2. The market's lucrative, but Inprise/Borland has the wrong products and services? 3. Right products/services but done poorly? 4. Right products/services, done well, but marketing/selling activity is weak? 5. All of the above are spot on, but enterprise customers aren't buying due to low stock price? Whatever your diagnosis -- what do you feel should be done, and do you see signs of Inprise doing it? (Gene, this message wasn't specifically to you... if you are leaving us... farewell.) Graham
