Antique Software: Turbo Pascal v5.5

Antique Software: Turbo Pascal v5.5, via Adam.

I learned to program on Turbo Pascal! I don't know what version it was, though, I'm pretty sure it was the last version for DOS before they moved to a Windows version.

A few years after I'd left high school, and after they'd changed the AP test to C++ (and before they changed it again to Java), I wanted to get one of the Pascal books we'd learned with from my high school, but they threw them out or something. Sigh.
