Digging through a box and I found

Turbo Tutor! Yes the self study book I got when I bought my Borland International copy of Turbo Pascal. Ahh the good times we had green screen flickering as the old 286 crunched the code on the 5.25 floppy disks. It was a great programming primer not real OO but it has the basics and at the time 1986 or was that 88 it was the latest thing. Man do I feel like a geek.

Haha, I feel like one too, I'm 16 and I'm reading a book that had a full 8 chapters or so on how to optimize assembly for the 8088!! Did you ever use punch cards? Or was that further back in the mid-late 70s?

:-D I've still got the manuals and media (5 1/4") for Turbo Pascal 5.5, Turbo Assembler, Turbo Debugger, Turbo Prolog, and Quattro Pro of the same era. My first version of TP was 2.0, I believe, and ran on CP/M. It was fast, powerful, and easy to learn and maintain, unlike any previous or subsequent language. And it was the first Pascal version to compile native code; other Pascals compiled to what was called p-code, which was then interpreted at run time. It was the best $49 I ever spent.:-D Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

I remember cleaning out some old boxes last year and uncovering my copy of Turbo C++ 1.0 - my training wheels into the land of OOP :)
