"It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to BASIC; as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration." -- Professor Edsger Dijkstra
The Meeting Place
This is the original Delphi version of a chat program that I've used for many hundreds of hours. It features chat where you can go back and fix mistakes -- perfect for us pedants. On top of this, there's file sharing, a draw board, shared web browsing and a couple of games.
As an additional (and rather cool, if I do say so myself) feature, it provides a server designed to accept telnet connections. The user on telnet opens two connections; the first window displays incoming text, and the second is used to type outgoing text.
Very handy if one of you is using a public computer...
