This is blantantly false.  I've contacted customer-support@borland.com
several times when I had a problem with a product or wanted to place
an order.  Perhaps you expected TECHNICAL support from that address,
which is not currently offered on the net (though I'm hoping it will
be someday soon!)

no affilation with Borland other than a (usually) satisfied customer.
