Oh, you are very welcome. I am glad some people enjoyed it. I mainly work in the Linux/Unix world and there are more and more people who honestly believe that _all_ languages are implemented in C at some level, and all OSes are C if you dig down low enough, and that the only real bare-metal compilers are C or something that translates to C or at least uses C's models. Only the middle-aged know that this wasn't always the case, and even the older than middle aged -- my age group -- often believe that tools like DOS and Pascal/Delphi died out in the 20th century and are simply not options for any modern computer. So when they see something like, say, Lazarus as FOSS, it can amaze them.
