How many Ada programmers do _you_ know that use >Macs?" Well, i know of about 20 actually. I also know that we don't buy tools for pc here unless they support both platforms. if we cant buy a product for both pc and mac we have made a decision to buy unix tools instead as both can get to them using xwindows. thus a vendor which does not support both platforms looses both mac and pc sales here! of course the unix vendors love this ;-)
