Hehe...I can't begin to tell you how much I _hate_ those pics of Ada.
For my presentations, I use an image of a rather attractive lass in a 
business suit.  It says everything I want it to say:  This is one
smart, modern lady that's easy on the eyes.   Yeah, sexist, I
suppose, but I get lots of compliments.  It was trimmed off a piece
of clipart from Microsoft's PowerPoint clipart collection.

Pat Rogers uses something similar for his slides.  Perhaps we do a
"model search" for a charming lass that represents the "new" Ada? :-)
(Maybe even one that actually writes Ada code!)
