And now, the news you were waiting for. The results of the voting
at the OCS booth at TriAda. As it turned out, there seem to
be a lot of lurkers out there; 86% said they read comp.lang.ada
Some of the other results were unexpected as well.
Of special note, the OCS demo crushed Ishtar.

I actually found these nine votes very comforting. I greatly enjoyed the
movie Ishtar, but I've never met anyone else who admitted to doing so.
