color=#0000ff size=2>(1) I don't know who exactly. This is done in two parts -
"core" of Borland and everyone else. The "core" are the R&D teams &
product marketing - so everyone related to Delphi, InterBase, JBuilder, etc are
part of it. Also Developer Relations (John Kaster, David I, etc) Then there are
the "everyone else". In Aust/NZ there are five of us: me, Tim Jarvis, Malcolm
Groves, Rachel (not going there), James Chessel, David Adams. Rest of world - no
idea.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

be no buyer, it would take Yellowstone Park to stop this. And there are a lot of
interested parties. I just don't know.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

their Blogs the other day something like . . </DIV>
<BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">

<DIV>2.) If Prince Charming doesn't come a long will Borland </DIV>
<BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
<DIV>(who have just poured $USD100m into a purchase believed to be helping
make Developers more redundant) </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV>carry on investing in DevCo themselves any way? </DIV>
