My first 'real' use of Ada tasking was a program for my local
community access TV station. It was a teleprompter running on a DOS
machine with TV set as monitor. One task smoothly scrolled the
on-screen text while another periodically read a chunk of text file
and filled a buffer. It certainly could have been done without
tasking, but was much simpler with tasking.
