[ale] Borland (was Xen)

Tue Jun 23 15:07:38 EDT 2009

The sign wasn't there when I left town in early 2001 but was maybe there
on my return in late 2004.

I know the building (The Platinum Tower is its name) has been there
longer because in 1991 the company I was working for was supposed to
move there and ended up going somewhere else instead.

It's been there as long as I've been here, and I got here in 2004.  Was
here a lot in 2003, and remember it being here then, too.
