Someday you will learn that it is all about money Roy Schestowitz.
And I suspect that you and Mark Kent would be standing in line to get into
one of those limos and partake of the 1/2 million dollar bonus as well.
Most people would and those that claim they wouldn't are either lying,
already set up financially, don't have the skills needed (like you for
example) or are just plain crazy.
Borland is just pissed because their products are no longer top tier.
