iPod my Car

The only way this is Delphi related is that I used it to listen to a Borland Radio show. I put an iPod in my car.

Delphi 2005 for .Net

I have been using Delphi for DotNet 2005 full time for a month now. I would love it, I would love all the features but the damn thing locks up so much that it is amost unuseable and I have all three patches on a brand new PC.

It is almost enough to move me to Visual Studio. Fix the bugs Borland.

Making Wrong Code Not Compile

The advantage of a strongly typed language like Delphi is you can use the compiler to help find a lot of bugs.

In fact, I'd have to say that if you have "primitive data" that has other attributes or properties, or that is constrained in some way, then it should be an object, an instance of a class that you write to enforce the constraints, etc. Let the compiler take the heavy load of making sure you use the data properly, not some wacky naming convention.
