I generally think you are better off if you decide which product to buy
based on how well that product will perform, not solely based on how nice
the saleslady was.  (If I have to choose between software that is good
enough that I never need to call customer support except once a year,
and then I get bad support, vs. bad software where I'm on the phone to
an incredibly helpful support person every week, I'll take the good
software every time.)  I also think it is a mistake to judge a company
as big as Borland by your experiences with one single person on one
single day.  (You might get someone who's mother just died or something.)
