Here's a hypothetical question that I hope you don't think too
impertinent, and I would be most interested in your learned 
opinion:

    How much of the Ada source code available on your web site 
    can be expected to run without change on a 64-bit machine,  
    under a  64-bit OS, compiled with a 64-bit Ada compiler, 
    when all of these become economically available?  (within a 
    couple of years, I hope)

If Ada code has a portabilitiy advantage, shouldn't Ada advocates
be planning to advance the language's status as the world struggles
with the shift to 64 bit machines over the next few years?  (32-bit PC's 
from Intel were on the street in 1987, but 32-bit software only became
the norm around 1997)
