I don't know the exact price for Delphi. It's been so long since the last time I used Turbo Pascal. Just as far as I remember, Delphi is even higher. I tried to look at the Authorized reseller web site, I could not get through. I'm having a real bad connection today.

I'll try to get the exact price later on. If you want to look yourself, you can go here:

But it is in Indonesia Languange <g>. So, I'll post it as soon as I can get through


Update:
Apparently, they didn't carry Borlands product. I thought I saw it once. We have to contact from Singapore reseller. Maybe it's because we (Indonesian) use MS products more than Borland products. So sorry, I can't get the detail information
