Well, Turbo Pascal was simply not available on Linux, at least not "freely". I loved Turbo, and I missed it and I begrudgingly switched to C++. And as a side note, I hated g++ cygnus to the bones, because they had some fixes for c++ templates that were not yet released in the foss version, only in the "pro" release.
Oh how I missed Turbo for Linux...

Interesting paying for cygnus stuff on Windows never occurred to me, I rather spent my money with Borland and Microsoft compilers.
