Ok. I'm still excited ;-)

Really ? Sorry, english is not native language for me...
What I meant was that it was very kind from Borland to give us support through
newsgroups, devote time to users, be responsive to user request, etc... Many
time in the (JBuilder) newsgroups I saw guys from Borland trying to explain the
internals of JBuilder, to comment configuration files, to explain the steps
needed to replace the JB internal VM by another one, etc... : many things that
are explicitely unsupported, but that can help users willing to go on further
with JB to do so, etc... I found that was a very interesting behaviour, and it
is not so common among other software vendors.
That's what I wanted to say ;-)
