Let's do a little trip down memory lane. We're talking the '80s, early '90s, and we're looking at a company called Borland, which produced several well-known and popular products related to software development. Back in those days, Borland had an end user license agreement. However, contrary to the EULAs we know and despise today, Borland's 'No-Nonsense License Statement' was a whole lot simpler, and in fact, is a perfect example of how software should be treated.

Looking back, I REALLY liked Borland Sidekick and Turbo Pascal. Also, Borland C++, with MFC and OWL, was an awesome product. Unfortunately, MS spanked Borland with Visual Studio. I really feel the death knell for Pascal (frm a business perspective only ...go FPC!) was the exclusion of Pascal from Visual Studio. Pascal as a language rocks, WAY safer than C/C++.
Darn, sometimes it's hard being old!
