Let me answer what I can:
1) What Is Delphi?
2) What is Microsoft C ++? is it anything like Visual Basic?
Delphi, C++ and VB are programming languages.
There is no such thing as Microsoft C++, the closes thing to that would be C#, which is a mod of the C++ version.
You're probably refering to the Microsoft Development Environment, some compilers and editors and debuggers, ... to develop programs with using C++. (Microsoft Visual Studios).
And C++ is ike VB in that aspect that it can be used to make programs.. But C++ is much more low-level, meaning, you have alot more control over what you do, and how you do it, and you have a wider range of possibilities with it. Yet it's more complex.
Personally, I think the VB programming syntax is very very limited, and allows for very little style and dynamicness in your programs, where as C++ is an increadibly beautiful language. (Yet I prefer Java).
3) What Is McAfee Quick Clean?
No Idea, I recon some sort of virus scanner..
4) What Is Windows Nemesis 2.0 ?
No idea here as well.
5) What Is Perl?
Perl is a programming language as well, but the diffrence with the others I explained above is that, this language is Interpreted, instead of Compiled. Meaning that, it isn't converted to Machine Code, but stays in its normal syntax. (C++ programs are converted to code which only your OS will understand, while Perl programs can be understood by both you and the 'interpreter', the interpreter is a program which runs the program. There is no need to convert a Perl program to Machine Code before you can execute it.). That's why It's often used in CGIs for example.
6) What Is Norton Ghost?
A program that makes a Ghost image of your hard disks, and uses this to recover or restore it to a previous state. A ghost image is kind of a copy of the hard disk, in a previous state. (Therefore, ghost, something that was and no longer is, but used to represent what was).
7) Does Anybody Know A Site That Shows FTP Severs That You Can Connect To? As In Trade?
Um no.. but if you want a very good search engine to search thousands and thousands of FTPs for a specific file, try http://www.filesearching.com

does that mean with norton ghost, i can make a back up of everything on my hdd, and burn it to a dvd, then format my hdd, and use the "ghost" file, to get all my data back?

i think you can, any backup software should be capable of letting you choose. haven't got ghost any more, so sorry, can't help. but i'm 80% sure you can.

You need to use Norton Ghost to burn the image to a DVD/CD or else it wont detect the image as being created by Norton, trust me I have tried.

1) What Is Delphi?
A programming language , like Visual Basics to write programs.
2) What is Microsoft C ++? is it anything like Visual Basic?
Another programming language , It is like VB in the sense that they are both programming languages.
3) What Is McAfee Quick Clean?
Its some kind of cheesy program by McAfee to clean your computer of "unnessaciry" files such as Temporary Internet Files and such.
