  I've got 25 bucks, anyone got a spare couple mill?

  <dreaming/>
     - strip dotnet out : thats 2 products at 1 price
     - build communication tools : delphi <-> Java <-> c#,
          and build a consistently named and behaving set
          of libraries across each - Jedi?
     - pick the best out of Modula2, Modula3, Oberon put
          that into Delphi then push it as the only Win native
          graphical environment
     - add a new vb7 compiler :)
     - add a (probly new) scripting language in somewhere
     - rather than QT have a XUL ui option

    - Profit!!!


  Cheers, Kurt.

    Nick's Delphi Blog has some interesting thoughts on it.

    Hopefully they'll fix the F11 problem!  Anybody notice it changed from
D7 to D2005.  Half the time I press it it takes me to the code and not the
object inspector.  Bugs me lots.  Either that or I never noticed in D7 -
can't test it there as I don't have it installed anymore.







    Nahum.

         . but can't help think this is a good thing for Delphi. Hopefully
the company who takes over will do some decent marketing and listen to its
clients (us).
