For some nostalgic value - here was that ad [0] in Byte and PC Magazine etc. back in the '80s. I seem to remember that $49.95 was USD but the software was AUD$69 over here in Australia?? I could be wrong. Another point I realised from this ad, was that Turbo Pascal was one of the first compilers to actually include the editor portion as well, as part of the total package, including the ability to compile directly from within the editor. A precursor to the modern day IDE, I guess. In a lot of way, really innovative work from Anders Heljsberg and Borland - they really broke a lot of new ground with Turbo Pascal and like I said above, they really opened up programming for a lot of people who might have otherwise taken a different path due to cost.
