"Borland could make good money on the quality of their products
but instead they milk their "loyal" customers.

Lets let them know how we feel!

Kahn has written us enough letters, lets write him some!

we are the customers , we pay their bills."

Well, I am one loyal customer who remains loyal and most certainly
does NOT feel screwed.  Each time that Borland provides an update, it
includes such a significant increase in capabilities that I can't wait
to put down the bucks.  

I remember REALLY being screwed by companies with "upgrades" in name
only, ones full of bugs besides.                 

It's a free country.  I can choose NOT to upgrade.  For example, I am
passing on Turbo Pascal 6.0 but WILL get Borland C++.  I am grateful
that Borland offers both alternatives.
