imagine the looks that mentioning (actively using) freepascal will get you ;)

TBH, i only had delphi one time and it was a free version for something... i used it once and never again... i don't recall why... probably because i didn't understand GUI programming at that time... in any case, though, most of my coding was being done in TP/BP 6 and 7 for command line tools and a few BBS door things... then i found freepascal later on after my coding time had lessened... in today's world, i use freepascal and the lazarus editor... yes, even for text only command line apps... i even have one that thinks it is an "application" (using TApplication IIRC)... i'd have to go look at the code which i've not looked at in 5+ years ;)
