Yes, Borland is quite fair sometimes, but this does depend on the context
in which you contact them. Via USENET (bugs@borland), there are certainly
limitations, and we have no idea who among their staff they have put to
watching the incoming mail. Contacted by phone, they are quite reasonable
(if the problem isn't *too* complicated), respond to faxes fairly quickly,
and respond very well in their CIS, BIX, and GEnie conferences (at least
if your problem is interesting enough...). Letters seem to be the worst
way, and the most knowledgable support folks seem to live on CIS and GEnie.
The quality of advice found on those pay-as-you-go forums is, generally,
far better than what they give over the phone.
