I just added two signed books, Xavier Pacheco’s and Steve Teixeira’s "Delphi 2 Developer’s Guide" (my copy) and Danny Thorpe’s "Delphi Component Design" (Steve Trefethen’s copy). Both books were signed by the authors.

I also added two floppy disk sets - Delphi 1, and BP7, David I’s leather jacket and a Borland mouse.

"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."

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

Keep bidding, and supporting Haiti!
