Which of these would you recommend for a beginner? I have several versions of Delphi, but I'd like what I do to work on a Mac as well so I'm leaning towards using Free Pascal only and avoide DirectX for now (perhaps I can look at Windows only stuff in Delphi at a later time, but I'm already reaching information overload...). I've been to the websites and just read stuff there, but haven't downloaded any of the things here to actually try yet.

Thank you,
Ron
