I had recently uninstalled Delphi, since it was too much of a strain on my system. m^e then advised me to look for light weight Pascal Compilers. I followed his excellent advice and after some time browsing and searching, I stumbled across Lazarus.

Needless to say I hit the download button, and much to my surprise it looked just like Delphi, perhaps a few alterations here and there, but overall it's identical. But then free, also there are versions available for Linux AND Windows AND Mac OS. All for free.

I felt right at home in Lazarus, and it's only about 195MB, whereas Delphi was 330MB. If you don't really believe me, just check out the screenshots.

I hope this isn't considered spam or advertising LOL, I am just sooo entousiastic about this and I wanted to share this

Looks good-, I must try it with some of the add on API based systems (such as the excellent GLScene tools) and test to see if they will compile and run
