All this talk about TP 6.0 leads me to ask:

Does Borland have a consistent and predictable upgrade policy?  If so, would
someone elucidate it?

I have TP Professional 5.5.  Borland has sent me offers for Quattro Pro ($99)
and Paradox ($149(?)), but not, for example, for the TP profiler that I've
seen some of you mention.  Their reasoning behind this is not particularly
obvious.

Do I count on getting something in the mail from Borland or do I pursue them?
Are Borland offers, if and when they are made, usually superior to street
prices?
