I did some pretty extensive work with Think Pascal on a
1MB Mac Plus with two floppy drives (no HD) and I always
found it to be very efficient and a pleasure to work with.
Nine hours to compile a simple text editor sounds completely
ridiculous to me, even for the times. Something must have
been very, very badly wrong.
