Maybe DT is an NBL, I wouldn't know (I don't know the man, though I do know what he looks like (from past BorCons)). I still think DI and JK's experiences at Borland probably put them in a better position to take over the helm, though, than DT, or perhaps anybody else either internal or (currently) external. -- Download Blackbird Crow Raven's book "STILL CASTING SHADOWS: Two American Families 1620-2006" (.exe and .pdf): http://cc.borland.com/ccweb.exe/listing?id=23106 Back to top John Kaster (Borland) Guest Posted: Wed Jul 27, 2005 5:34 pm    Post subject: Re: Y !

I've run my own company before, and I think I would not want to run a company larger than, at most, about 300 employees. I'd prefer running one that was 10 - 30 employees.
