    I've been complaining about that for YEARS. The first version of Turbo Pascal I bought was just $29.95 in 1983. Compare that to $1000 for VS2010 today...

      The value of money went down 33x in 28 years? So that million I am planning on retiring with will essentially be worth less than $30K? :((

        And unlike VS2010, Turbo Pascal did exactly what you expected it to, every time, with a minimum of resources. As a bonus, it came with books, too!
