Well, I have been a Borland customer since 1985 (CP/M!) and have always
heard from them whenever a new product came out.  This is even
for Borland products that I don't have, and yet they offer me the
"upgrade" price, specifically Paradox and Quattro.

Now, one thing Borland doesn't seem to do often is to pre-announce products.
Rather I hear about the products when they're ready.  I guess they
might lose some business because they don't have a habit of putting
out early notices, losing people who go out and buy something else.
But I've still waited for Borland C++ instead of buying Zortech.

If you've moved and didn't notify them, then perhaps there's a problem.

Now all we need is another (minor) upgrade to Sprint to get rid of some
of the quirks.  Too bad I'm so hooked....
