Greetings -- it's been a while since I've posted or checked, so forgive me
if this seems a bit naive -- last I heard was that there were "no plans for
a new version in 2004". Since 2004 is "nearly over", I'm beginning to
wonder "how about 2005?"
At the local Fry's, there is one lone "upgrade" package still on the shelf.
I was reluctant to buy it last year because of the aforementioned
announcement, and I still find myself not-quite-able to actually buy it now
because of "nagging doubt". Does Borland plan on anything (significant or
otherwise) for "Kylix" in the near future?
I know it is a vicious circle/catch-22 sort of thing, but I need some
assurance that "investing" in them by buying their products is a "wise
thing to do" ;)
As such, there are other packages out there that are likely to grab my
developmet dollar: free-pascal and Gambas (Gambas in particular for the
"rad" style of development)

p.s. I would have posted in the ...upgrade group, but that group seems
rather dead -- only one "spam" post in there at the time I subscribed...
