[DUG] More Delphi news...

[Dave O'Brien]

Unfortunately I started with some form of basic, can't remember the
device, Sinclair, TRS80, whatever. Never really got into it. Moved onto
Pascal on a PDP-11 (don't ask). Data General Business Basic. (Not the
best). A bit at Vic, VMS - still some Pascal. I sort of understand it.

Foxbase - Foxpro. Cool stuff...

Still doing Pascal for anything useful.

TP1..TP3
BP?-7 (big skip there)
Object Vision? (Never really found a target)
Delphi 1-2005 (got lots of people interested at 1)

I still like Pascal; it seems to be the way I think... (Or maybe it
thinks the way I do)

I'm way behind in the current stakes, but I have seen a lot of C (of any
variety) code that makes no sense to any but the writer (definitely not
me). I have yet to see that in Pascal. (Well not Indeciferable to me)

I may be a bit backwards, but I haven't found a problem I can't solve
with a combination of native compiler and maybe a bit of lower level
code... I have good experience in machine code but have rarely had to
use it. 

Dot Net appears to me to be a cop out.
