[AccessD] OT: ...end of line for Borland...

I was also hooked on Turbo C by Borland!

I remember scouring the computer stores looking for anything on Turbo C. I
started my programming "career" on an Atari creating macros for a
spreadsheet program before graduating to Lotus Symphony's integrated
spreadsheet and database applications. After that, I tried dBASE III and
Clipper. The school I was working for used filePro so I had to learn that
and on the side I taught myself to program in C using Turbo C. It took a
year before I finally grasped the concept of C programming and came up with
the what I considered a really cool application -- a fancy and advanced menu
driven interface.

When C++ came out I figured that it was too complicated to learn
object-oriented programming and stopped learning C and shifted my focus to
MS Access 1.0 and finally web-based programming.

Today, I'm back full circle, programming this time with Microsoft's C# using
(GASP!) object-oriented/event-driven programming techniques. :)

Ever use Borland's Jbuilder for webdev ?
I once did....or tried to....it was so buggy, it was unusable.
Good riddance Indeed !
