That's it. I never saw a message with ADA in it which was an
"intermediary/advanced" Ada thought. One thing which makes Ada
different is readability, which is a bit of aesthetics, and Mac is a
similar artistic thing in systems. Another good system was Intel 432.
BTW, who works with Intel iAPX 432 now? I think it's a pity that it
gave birth to i386..., while the Ada-based OS is forgotten. How nice it
would be to have a native AdaOS (seize the name! free :-). And w/o
correct capitalization, one couldn't distinguish say AdaOS from some
ADAOS. Actually it may be important, as Norman Cohen stressed that
something like CBS_Volumes differs from CBs_Volumes.
