newer pages long before I could. Perhaps borland.com changed some DNS
entries, and it took awhile for them to percolate around to the pathways
available to me.

DNS changes take 48-72 hours (theoretically) to propagate.

with one of those empty "mission statements", something which does
little to inspire me with hope that they are really aiming at
developers,
most of whom see such things as pretentious blather intended to sway
those
with heads sharp enough to engrave their names on a piece of boron.

through Saturday at about noon. When it came back up, it had changed
faces to what is now presented as www.borland.com.
I'm guessing that the maintenance done on the site prevented its access
for awhile, but it seems odd to me.

things such as the examples library that John Kaster has mentioned are
brought into being. Hell's bells, just a working index into these
newsgroups would be a real improvment.

These newsgroups are indexed at www.dejanews.com, so
Borland.com could set up a
search form which submits a tuned query to dejanews.com.
They could go to dejanews, and do a tightly qualified query
that just hits their own groups and
excludes everything else. They can grab the URL that
generates the query, and use that as a starting
point.

would just like to make borland.com my one-stop shopping center for
answers when I get stuck. I think it would be a good way to keep small
developers such as myself coming back on a regular basis.

I'll grant you that it looks much better, but it would look even better if
they hired people who actually know a little bit about the English language.
I see that "Borland.com will provide: Complimentary tools, technology and
services". Does that mean that when I start up Delphi, it will tell me that
I look very nice today? I think perhaps they'd be better off providing
*complementary* tools, technology and services.
I know that sounds like a stupid beef to have, but when companies don't take
the time to check over their conduit to the outside world, then what else
have they skimped on?

DejaNews. I think Borland.com should concentrate on stuff that isn't done
already.

are you sure you actually typed in www.borland.com instead of just
borland.com ? Here, www.borland.com works - and the site looks
quite cool compared to what I've seen some days ago!!

good to me.

However, I think they would be better off using "free" -- if that is what they
mean.

The correction has been made.

I think it has a lot more to do with a small web team handling a great
deal of work in record time. :)

You're right, of course, and I probably should have sent you an email
letting you know of the error instead of griping about it. I just got
through spell-checking and grammar-checking some documents for a guy here,
and he knows absolutely nothing about the English language. He's also too
lazy to run a Word spell-checker or grammar-checker on his stuff. So I was
already worked up over the issue, and then I ran into it on your web site.
So my apologies, and thanks for the fix.
