I'm a long-time Borland customer who owns TC 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, TASM 1.0, TD 1.0,
TP 5.0 & 5.5.  So recently when their offer for TC++ arrived, I quickly placed
an order for the Professional version (TC++ 1.0, TD 2.0, & TASM 2.0).  The
price was $150 + 5 (?) S&H + sales tax.

That was three weeks ago.  It still hasn't arrived.  Yesterday I was in a local
computer store and saw the same package for $175.  So, my "deal" from Borland,
in appreciation of being a long-time loyal customer, is about $20.

But I'd rather spend the $20 and have the software NOW, then save a little
money and wait a month.

Does this bother anyone else?
