jkaster: Free 3rd party tools
jkaster: for any BDS 2006 registered users
jkaster:outchy: "are these 3rd party tools fully functional or just demo?" - nick: they are fully functional. They are not a demo or time limited. They don't have all features of the full version.
jkaster:workin: "does this castalia have block highlighting?" - nick: yes, I believe it does if I understand the question.
jkaster:aikimark: "if a Delphi developer is maintaining a Win32/.Net codebase, would they be better off with two Turbo versions or one BDS2006 version?" - nick: That's up to the individual developer, but I would lean toward BDS. You can have one project group with both personalities. Plus, two copies of Turbo Pro would cost you more. Anders: You also can only have one version installed per machine.
jkaster:workin: "any recent DTG hires?" - nick: yeah, we've been hiring people.
jkaster:Bear: "How do you do the Delphi Beta Test in the future? Will it be public?" - nick: that's a tough question (editorializing continued)

jkaster:aikimark: "Does that mean NO MO DevCO?" - nick: DevCo Oil in Santa Cruz is still in business
jkaster:cleggy: "Can these free Third Party tools be downloaded by Turbo owners?" - nick: no, this is a BDS incentive
jkaster:aikimark: "what about a new company name contest winner?" - nick: we got a lot of suggestions. but I don't think there was ever going to be a winner announced.
