It seams like a new version every 6 months . I'm just now getting the gist of Delphi 6 and its patches and terrible helpfile. So now you want more money for Delphi 8. I love Delphi but I think you are starting to hurt some programmers especialy like me. I can't afford the price of the pro version every few months and the personal is no good except for learning Delphi. You have the price so high that only corporations can afford it. I've been using Delphi.since the Turbo Vision era and the first versions were afforable for the common programmer.

Oh come on, it has been more than a year since D7 has been released, and a new version a year has been about the cycle for many years now. If you do not plan do get into .NET programming you do not need Delphi 8, as it stands now it only produces .NET executables. -- Peter Below (TeamB) Use the newsgroup archives : http://www.mers.com/searchsite.html http://www.tamaracka.com/search.htm http://groups.google.com http://www.prolix.be Back to top Ron Cis Guest Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2004 8:47 am    Post subject: Re: Upgrade Quote: Oh come on, it has been more than a year since D7 has been released, and a new version a year has been about the cycle for many years now. Seems like I bought Delphi 1 in 1989 I'm not sure. I know I bought Paradox back then. Well Peter since your my favorite TeamB guy, I'll climb down from my high horse, but maybe the guys from Borland will get the point!

FWIW I just read that part of the reason for Honda's enduring success was that traditionally not a financer but an engineer is at the helm there... Let's see...Borland mgmt has marketeers, financers, lawyers. Not a single engineer. Sigh. -- Ben Back to top Ron Cis Guest Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2004 10:38 pm    Post subject: Re: Upgrade "Ben Hochstrasser [FF]" <bhoc@tiscali123^H^H^H.ch> wrote Quote: FWIW I just read that part of the reason for Honda's enduring success was that traditionally not a financer but an engineer is at the helm there...

Seems like I bought Delphi 1 in 1989 I'm not sure. I know I bought Paradox back then. Amazing that that is nearly 6 years before D1 was sold to anyone else (IIRC D1 was released 2/14/95). Delphi has always been on a 14-15 month cycle. The only real exception was D6 which went out nearly 2 years because of Kylix. D7 to D8 was 15 months. D6 to D7 was 14 months. -- Jeff Overcash (TeamB) (Please do not email me directly unless asked. Thank You) If there is somebody up there could they throw me down a line. Just a little helping hand just a little understanding. Just some answers to the questions that surround me now. If there's somebody up there could they throw me down a line.
