as was the speed of Turbo Pascal compilation and the elegance of their text mode windowing object system.
I remember scouring all the possible BBS dialup file servers to find a compiler for my first 8086 machine .. I knew there had to be something better than GW Basic .. I could not find a compiler for free, but did happen up on A86 assembler, so got an intro to how the machine really worked.
Was so happy when I could afford Turbo Pascal back in the day. best product ever.
