Wow! I really need to up my promotional game. I had no idea we could use heavy weaponry to promote the products!!!

Do you have a link to this Wayback article?

I feel like they had a bit of a military thing going on, back when.

I feel like I tried (unsuccessfully) to find this not that long ago … but I remember a (video of a) conference showing a massive video of someone and David I hooning through a jungle in a Humvee, until finally … a real one burst through the backdrop onstage, and the same two got out of it.

Here you go:

The other bloke with David is Paul Gross, who was VP of R&D at Borland before being headhunted to Microsoft to be VP of Dev Tools. And if memory serves me, a lot of the jungle scenes were filmed in the scrub behind the old Borland campus in Scotts Valley.

The comments on that video are full of disappointed fans of Paul Gross, the Canadian actor.
