Most Jbuilder developers feel like a person who ordered a BMW.  It arrived equipped
with those emergency spare tires. The real  tires (jdk 1.2) were on back order from
SUN .  The  wheels have arrived! They don't fit the car ;-(. The swing classes have
moved. Do we want Inprise to beat on our car and bend things until the wheels fit?
What if we need the old spare to fit? Or do we want them to give us a new car? What if
Inprise said, "Ok, we promised 1.2 on the box, but by the time SUN delivered 1.2 we
were so close to JBUILDER 3 that we have decided to give it to any JBUILDER 2 owner
for free."  This would catapult Inprise right to the top of the java IDE tool vendors.
It would give their Java client base the kind of loyalty they enjoy with Delphi users.
