If I remember correctly, Objects were introduced in Turbo Pascal 5.5, not version 7.

Yep, my high school computer science class looked just like this. Thanks for the memories.

Yup, mine, too. I don't remember which version it was, but I'm pretty sure it was still "Turbo" (not "Borland") Pascal, in the late 1990s. Grade 10 computer science was taught on Macintosh QuickBasic and then grades 11 and 12 were "real" programming in Turbo Pascal.

I had to learn pascal at college in the early 90s .

And some long called Jackson Structured Programming, which effectively put me off development for life.

Also : why is there a photo from 100 years ago ?
