[DUG] [OFF-TOPIC]:What ever happened to?

[Paul McKenzie]

Sure have - did not impress, just Delphi doing .Net nothing to make Delphi shine-out over C# (having 
helper classes to try and do the thing C# does does not inspire faith...). Remember when Delphi 
started, and until recently, compare Delphi to the competitors C++, VB, Visual-C, etc. and Delphi 
Shone-out as being far far superior - IMHO the same cannot be said any more :-(
