If you’re an old hack like me you may well look back with fond memories of the Borland Turbo line of tools. For me it was Turbo Pascal, then Turbo C, and later Turbo C++ that were my development environments of choice for many years.

Well they are at it again, and now you can download the “explorer” editions for free from www.turboexplorer.com. The only downside is that you can only install one of the products on a machine at a time.

Unfortunately these days I’m a committed Linux user, and developer, and these Windows only products hold little appeal for me.
