I'll not quibble with this observation (one of my BIGGEST complaints
about Borland tech support, BTW).  I will point out that IBM, at least
in the mainframe world, makes bug reports widely available to customers.
The "APAR" database is available to customers by phone or via terminal.
It's quite nice, and there are lots of vendors who could learn from
this.
