w:st="on">Delphi</st1:place> 1. A mate of mine brought his laptop around and
said, “You’ve got to see this”. I was literally blown away. I
couldn’t believe that Windows programming could be so easy.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

w:st="on">Delphi</st1:place> never really took off in the States. There is no
doubt in my mind that Delphi has been the best development tool available since
Delphi 1, with maybe C# (IMO) starting to catch up – if you don’t mind
using .NET.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

things like JEDI etc.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
