I ordered the upgrade the day they began taking orders for it.
Apparently the rumor that TC 1.5 is now shipping is just that, a rumor.
Borland seems to be continuing its tradition of being a terrible
shipper.  Always late, they are.  I've called them many times, and still
nothing's shown up in my mailbox.  I'm getting pretty sick of Borland.
I wonder if Microsoft is any better...

To give them a little credit, though, at least they didn't charge the fee
to my card when I ordered the upgrade way back when.
