Title: Turbo series returns from the grave

Summary: Borland plan to revive the turbo series of tools.
Body: Too little, too much, too late, and too unbelievable. That's the tale of Borland's announcement that it is launching a new set of 'Turbo' software developer tools aimed at the individual professional developer. Borland effectively abandoned individual developers six or seven years ago after the launch of C++ Builder 5.
Like other individual developers I bought the upgrade to version 6 at a cost of more than I paid for the original copy of C++ Builder, and soon abandoned it because there was nothing new for individual developers, and the editor had been screwed around with to an extent where it was difficult to use.
All this new stuff comes in at the time when Borland are trying to sell off their existing development tools business to, yet again, go chasing the will o' the wisp of enterprise level middleware. You've got to be joking Borland. Yes I'm nostalgic about the old Turbo Pascal and Turbo C, both of which I used early in my career. But that nostalgia doesn't extend to shelling out $500 for a copy now!
