        Check out your local college bookstore alot of
        the campuses have discounts.  I bought my delphi 3
        back in college for only 50$ for the full ciient/
        server version which would've been at least 500$
        back then or 400 i forget.  The only problem with
        such discounts is the company doesn't allow free
        tech support in the programs since your buying
        it cheaper.  But since I've never needed it
        it didn't bother me, but something you can look
        into.           

        Also visual studio has delphi, C in it in one
        package (and VB and something else..I got
        it on the shelf but never installed it yet...
        maybe its turbo asm?)...
