With separating data stuff from form classes, you are going to end up with a
lot of units. It doesn't seem right to me to put all these units in the
same directory. Is there a standard or recommended way to organize units so
that related classes are together? For instance, in Java, you have a
package (which is really a subdirectory) where you can group related classes
together. Is there something similar in Delphi? Are there disadvantages to
this approach?

That kind of organization is purely up to you to decide - Delphi places no
restrictions. So in your project folder, you can create any number of
subfolders to any depth and, as you create new units, save them to any of
those folders. You can also save units to folders anywhere else, so if you
have classes that are intended to be common between different projects, then
it makes sense to save them in a common folder outside of a specific project
folder. Then each project can simply include those units. In this latter
case, rather than specifically adding the unit to each project, you would
typically add that common folder to the project's search path and then just
specify the unit(s) in the Uses clause as needed.

Working for yourself is great because you get to work half days, and
you can choose any twelve hours you want.
