A few days ago I received an eagerly awaited Springer hard-copy of the
Ada 2005 LRM (courtesy of Ada Europe, to whom many thanks). Being less
busy than usual I have had some time to study this work and compare it
to the earlier Springer LRM for Ada 95, with the following results:
Ada 95 Ada 2005
Weight (g) : 985 1205
Thickness (mm): 32 27
The height and width are the same, so the overhead in terms of desk-top
area is unchanged, which is good. The result of this comparison is thus
that Ada 2005 is 44.9% denser than Ada 95, as represented by their
respective LRMs. The analogous comparison based on the text of the LRMs
was not in scope for this study :-)

Perhaps Ada 2005 is not the only (as they say here) "dense" thing
around :-)
Yeah - I have a little too much time too
thanks for the laugh

It WAS supposed to be funny, right? :-)
