<Lots of bad stuff about Borland deleted>

Since evrybody is critizizing I thought I'd make a positive contribution:

When I (Borland) had a elusive bug in a mamouth program (The program worked
under TP4 but would sometimes freak with TP5). I looked long and hard at the
symptoms, wrote a fax explaining up and down, back and forth how the bug
behaved. A week later they faxed back and asked fore more info. They got it (we
even talked on the phone). And one week later they faxed us again: move f***ed
things up. Problem fixed!

Hm, I wonder if it meant anything that we had the Proffesional package?

Anyway: Borland has always been fair to me on other occations. It's another
thing with their Norwegian representative...


Nicolai, your friendly alaround amateur (bugs made while you wait!).
