2007/02/14 - What is Delphi Astro?
Little was known about Delphi Astro. The first word came from a "leak" by a Swedish company who announced a seminar where both Delphi Spacely and Delphi Astro would be shown (or at least previews of them would be given). This was also announced in a newsgroup message, and referrences by Marco Cantu in his blog.

Before that leak, however, Michael Swindell was already talking about PHP in the newsgroups, and why it would be a good thing to support it.
