There's always one in every crowd!

Hello my name is Brad and I have a problem.
I love dselect, program in Pascal and do my tax in binary.

I keep up with the FPC compiler and when I have to "do" windows I use 
Borland Delphi 4.
In fact I have written some stuff I run under linux using wine using Delphi.
I just can't find a quicker more refined way to bash out gui apps.

I used to have a small linux distro that loaded off a CF card and ran 
completely in ram. Including wine, the distro based on uclibc and 
busybox the whole thing was about 17MB on the CF.

Having changed career, programming is not my daily bread anymore and I 
don't update my pascal source tree as much as I used to, but I still use it.

The entire digital music/lighting system in Gilkisons Dance studio in 
Perth is written in Pascal running on linux. Even the low level Lighting 
comms routines and audio mixing routines.

I even started writing a linux kernel module in pascal, then I figured 
that sometimes "because I can" can just be carried too far :p)

Brad.
