Ya I think we should start a thread on the rising cost of coffee! <g> Actually I'm only a semi-professional programmer and I don't think the cost of D2005 was all that bad...if it worked as advertised! But since it doesn't it isn't worth the price of the three Cd's it comes on!

Perhaps if people don't program for a living with Delphi but I know that coffee for the year costs more than the dev tools where I am. cheers, Jeremy __________________________________________________ Delphi-Talk mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi-talk __________________________________________________ Delphi-Talk mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi-talk
