Thanks for the link - it was interesting reading.

On a side note, my major Ada programming project last year was a
real-time automated train controller, which ran four real toy trains
(and a freight) around a track. I didn't know the meaning of "mission
critical" until I began that project - the lectureres would literally
yell and scream when the trains collided and fell of the track.
