- RE the several people who pointed out that Borland wasn't big & famous when
- they introduced Turbo Pascal: no, but Pascal was very widely known, as it had
- been kicking around CS depts. for years, was developed by a widely respected
- guru, and had already received a lot of notice. Borland's genius was in
- hopping on a bandwagon and doing it right. They didn't create the bandwagon.
