I was one of the first 1000 people on the second day of Software Development '95 and scarfed a gamma copy of Delphi. I was so impressed by what it does and its level of integration that I immediately hopped over to Programmer's Paradise to order a copy of the GA edition. I covet an Ada compiler with half that level of integration, but I am realistic enough to realize that I won't be seeing one in my lifetime...
