Hehe. Yes!

However, AdaOS is not a revolutionary design. Its design is based mainly
on current OS orthodoxy. The ECLAT compiler is a new compiler, but the
language (Ada) isn't. The windowing system (Titian) is in abeyance at the
moment; I may never devlop it. And I'm not really writing a whole new
documentation system (although I did think of doing so at one point); I'm
only thinking of writing a fairly simple tool (and otherwise using the
Texinfo system). So I'm doing /some/ of it my way.

(Oh, and actually I'm not a great fan of Frank Sinatra :-)
