Hallo David,

I'm actually a chemist, and I'm  87 years old.

I started IT-Jobs with Turbo-Pascal in a chemical plant,
a oil refinery.

Thats why I experiment with free-pascal.

All things we need, are stolen ( GDR!), especially compiler etc.
Operatingsystem was CPM

I'm glad to meet you too.

I sit here alone and stew in its own juice.

Wish you everything you wish for.

Gruss Rolf
