    "..and I can call Spirits from the Vasty Deep."
    "Why, so can I.  So can any man.  But do they come when you call
them?"
    (From Shakespeare's The Tempest)

    You could so argue.  But I don't think I, or any software engineer,
would believe you after seeing those graphs.  The relative costs and
downtime are impressive, but what is even more impressive is the
contrast between steady increases for version 2, and fast decreases
toward zero for the Ada version.
