Hmm...so can you uninstall it and then install something else? As it was pointed out on another mailing list, this is a stupid restriction and I've been sort of holding back until: 1) The servers allow me to download. 2) I can figure out which one I want to install. I want to try all of them, but if I can't uninstall one and install a different one, I'm not sure which one I want to get stuck with (probably Turbo C++ because C++ is what I work with most). Borland is already causing people to decide to not install _ANY_ of them with this restriction. Borland should have just charged $10 to install all of them. Their servers wouldn't be so swamped and there wouldn't be any restrictions on what you could install. And the $10 would allow them to price Pro more appropriately - say $50 for the collection (they ARE attempting to sell nostalgia - it would be only appropriate to price the product accordingly). And I can't tell if each Pro version is $500 individually or collectively but it sounds like it is $500 for each individual product. BUT, if you can't try all the products out, how will you know which ones to buy? IMO, this is another disaster in the making. The only remaining redeeming factor is probably going to be how good the software is. So....: What's your initial impression of Turbo Delphi Explorer (TUDE)? BTW, I think that's a great acroynm - tude is short for 'attitude'...but only if the product lives up to the nickname. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 Safe C++ Design Principles (First Edition) Learn how to write memory leak-free, secure, stable, portable, and user-friendly software.
