I found my slightly worn Borland Leather Jacket, and Lino Tadros is donating his brand new, never worn suede jacket. Both jackets are XXL.

Update - Delphi 8 Arch on eBay contains Delphi 7 Arch as well
I saw nothing indicating it on the box, so I finally cut it open just to check exactly what's in there.
Delphi 8 Architect - includes Delphi 7 Architect
It's only fair to mention this. The last person who picked up Delphi 8 Architect (with Delphi 7 Architect) got it for a steal... ;)

Haitian Relief Auction Update - $7,292
38 items are on their way to the winning bidders. I can fill in customs forms in my sleep now. ;)
I just now realized I completely blew it... I didn't take a photo of the autographed $99 bumper sticker that I just mailed off... I'll have to ask the winner to send me a photo of it in a special place.
Anyway, there's some cool stuff coming real soon now...
Not to get too specific - you'll have to stay tuned - but they include autographed copies of Turbo Pascal 3 and Delphi!
Thanks for your support!

Santa Cruz Sentinel article
"SCOTTS VALLEY -- If you are secretly pining over old Borland memorabilia -- the classic Pascal 3.0 software still in its original shrink wrap, a Borland varsity letter jacket once reserved for executives or a shiny yellow bumper sticker proclaiming that "Delphi Developers Do It Faster" -- this is your chance to bid in an unusual auction and have your purchase support recovery efforts in Haiti."

Haiti Relief: Championship Borland Softball
Chris Hesik, Delphi R&D, has donated a very special item that is now up for sale. All proceeds go to Haitian Relief.
SIGNED Borland Softball League Championship Softball!!!
This item represents a fairy tale ending to a company softball league.
Letter from Chris Hesik:
2000 Inprise Softball League Champions “Virtual Base”
Championship Game Signed Game Ball (and a receipt from the subsequent celebration at the Felton Round Table Pizza)
Date: 9/18/2000
Score: 23-15
After having played and lost to the Inprise Sales team several times during the season, no one thought that Virtual Base, made up of mostly Delphi and C++Builder R&D and QA Engineers, had much of a chance when the two teams met again in the League Championship game. A strong first inning rally gave Virtual Base a large lead that lasted the entire game.
Roster:
*Chris Hesik
*Allen Bauer
*Dave Wilhelm
*Spencer Kimball
*Jason Sprenger
*Michael Swindell
*Christine Ellis
Ramesh Theivendran
Terri Bartos
Jeff Peters
Ellie Peters
Kurt "Gator" Algayar
Karen Bauer
Kenn Ellis
*Current Embarcadero Employee
