In my mind, the saddest part of the Borland story is the rise and fall of Paradox.  In the mid nineties, I was involved with a team at a large midwestern corporation that evaluated two database programs: Paradox for Windows and MS Access.  Paradox won hands down.  Once this product made its way to Corel, it has sat idle on the shelf.  I still use Paradox, but it is getting harder. It would be nice if Corel would sell Paradox to someone who was willing to put forth a little effort into the software.
