I wrote a utility program for my job using GW-BASIC, and the first professional feedback I got was that an interpreted language would not be taken seriously. So I drove to CompUSA and bought the only BASIC compiler they had, Borland TurboBasic. I quit my job and started Perfect Sync in 1987, so I guess it must have been TB 1.x. Support was via phone at first, I remember talking to somebody named Erica. Then CompuServe became the primary support channel. There was a dedicated BBS for a long time, but it was mostly for downloads.
