Anyone else using Borland Builder C++ 6.0 still?

As I find myself reading these forums, and ask myself why... I look back at my other PC, only to see that after 10 minutes it still has not finished compiling my code, and continue reading/posting.

Just wondering, anyone else on these forums still using this 10+ year old IDE? I would like to know my pain is felt by others :P

If not, what other old-school compilers are you guys using?

The ones I started with include (in order):

TRS 80 Basic (came with my first computer)
Power C (only one I could afford, was like $19.99 back in the day)

...when I went to JR College, the instructor was teaching DBase III (or IV -- they called that a programming language), Cobalt and Pascal. But I only stayed in that class (and that school) for 2 weeks.

I got to use Eclipse IDE a few months ago for an Android app, and that SOB compiles my code as-I-type. Doesn't leave much room for goofing off, LOL.

Not using anything old, but remember old days fondly. Back then, it seemed like product quality counted more than coming from Microsoft. The favorites, like QEMM, 123, Word Perfect, Desqview or C++ all had MS counterparts that were weaker, but it did not seem to matter too much and people still were using them. And I still blame Desqview X delays for the scourge of that horrible GUI/OS that we all live under these days. W something or other.

So many great products, so many people convinced that better mousetrap can actually matter. I was sad for many months when I finally gave up and made that "W-something" partition to run alongside my OS/2 Warp one. :(

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

Just installed VB6 for someone else. (will program something for us)

As for borland, was using it back in college, but for advanced class they switched to Visual Studio and Visual C++.

For last programming class I had in college we used Eclipse, pretty impressive, but huge memory/processor hog. Did some java programming in it.

As for computers, Apple ][, Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga and then PC, in that order. Always wanted to own ZX Spectrum as they had really nice isometric games and lots of adventure games.
