- I’m embarrassed and very sorry for the busted links in the previous message. They should all be fixed now. My apologies — there’s a lot of good content there, and I’m sorry that I delayed your getting to it.
- Some folks have wanted to be able to download a ZIP file of Update 3. Now you can.
- There’s been a lot of good press on the release of CodeGear RAD Studio 2007.

Thanks to Ferruh Köroğlu. - I’m actually typing this from the lobby of the Papandel Hotel in the Netherlands. I’m here for the SDC Conference. It was good to see some Delphi folks like Cary Jensen and Ray Konopka. I’ll be giving the Delphi Product Address here, as well as a technical session about Delphi and ASP.NET 2.0. I’ll be following that up by doing a couple of customer events, and then I’ll be at EKON 11 in Frankfurt next week. I’ll post more as the week goes on.


Cool that you’re in Arnhem. You’re about 4km from my Aunt and Uncle’s old place. Spent many hours tramping the pathways around that hotel…
September 16th, 2007 at 6:26 pmHope we get the link to download RAD Studio today as you have promised

Not sure what link you think I promised…..

September 16th, 2007 at 9:41 pmNo problem, Nick, about the busted links. We’re glad that it was fixed so soon. (Anyway, I managed myself to find the files). But as ‘punishment’ you’re expected to have the same session (ie. the ‘Delphi Product Address’) on .non-tech battlefield. Especially, we’re interested where Delphi is going, as you see it… I hope that I’m not so tuff…

Shankar –
Emails to SA customers should be going out Monday. I agree that this process needs to be improved. It is better this time around, but still needs to be improved.
Nick
Hope you will honor this since you are outside your office for this week!!!
