>Who did the presentation, and where was it?

Manoli Rodokakis, MD of Borland South Africa, and Darren Cowder, who is (I
think) the senior product manager for Borland products for Borland South
Africa.
Darren (who comes across as having more technical knowledge) was the one
who did all the slamming of Firebird.
It was held in Cape Town, South Africa, as well as Johannesburg.

Thanks, that explains it....
