David I is still at Borland/CodeGear after 22 years, while Steve Trefethen is leaving the company.

I first met David I in 1990 (if I'm not wrong) for the Borland OOP World Tour, in which he gave presentations along with Bruce Eckel and Zack Urlocker. The three of them even ended up visiting my parent's house in the countryside and a 1000 year old castle nearby. I've met David I so many times since then (in the US, in Italy, in other European countries) that it is impossible to keep a count. David I is the individual representing Borland/CodeGear to developers of the entire world. Kudos for this achievement... and we hope to have you managing developer relations, conferences, events, and helping shape the products and the company for many years to come.

I'm not personally that close to Steve T. (the other Steve T.?) but I've followed a lot of this technical work on the VCL, heard him give presentations at past Borland Conferences, and (recently) appreciated reading his blog. I think the Delphi community owes you a big thank you Steve. BTW, good to know you are not going to join the big crowd of ex-Borlanders in Redmond...
