I think that Borland will have a very hard time selling into the Mac
market again.  Borland produced several fairly nice Mac products (Reflex
Plus comes to mind, as does SideKick, and Turbo Pascal), and then dumped
them, leaving the users without any support, without any upgrade path.

I don't think that I would be willing trust a Borland Mac product.
I certainly would not recommend that anyone else take such a risk
either.
