“Borland” — now there’s a blast from the past.

Phillipe Kahn was chairman, president, and CEO of Borland Inc. from its beginning in 1983 until 1995. Kahn was a student of Wirth.

Its first product was Turbo Pascal in 1983. Then Sidekick, Quattro Pro, Paradox database management. Borland purchased Ashton-Tate and got dBASE.

I used so many of those, but they are all distant memories now. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Pascal was my primary programming language but on OpenVMS and HP-UX.
