This thread is hilarious! Wonderful job, all of you, contributing to the nonsense. Haven't looked at this thread in months, but happened to have a little time to kill. I thought I might see some investment advice, but instead, wandered into a humor thread. I don't know which is more enriching: the comments made by a few of you, or the pathos I see by people still holding this stock. What a chart INPR has. Don't see many like it.

David, I agree... The borland.com site is still terrible. If they have the same gang working on it as they have working on the Inprise web site, it'll always look the same. It may look funny for a programming tools/enterprise tools company to outsource their web development. But in this case it would be a good idea. If they really want to sell this portal idea (and their software) they should contract a company that specializes in e-commerce solutions. There are plenty out there and in the long run will cost them less to outsource this than than to have an in-house organization. Plus you can always hire a new firm for a fresh new look, or a bunch of new ideas. It beats hiring new management any day... Has anyone talked to IR about this Borland.com thing yet? I'm tempted to call and see what they've got to say about all of this.. Dennis
