Winner! Most Ignorant Post Award!

I knew it was only a matter of time before ADA and Ada collided.  I
was eagerly awaiting to learn who the winner would be.

Of course, one _could_ claim Ada is working with a handicap :-)

I found it humorous, actually.  Ever since ADA came out, I figured
something like this would happen.  Life is strange.  Reality is even
stranger.

At one of the SIGAda meetings in Charleston, W.Va., I recall going from
room to room in one of the hotels, dropping in on various
birds-of-a-feather meetings and vendor demonstrations, until I came to a
large room filled with nothing but dental equipment--dental chairs,
bright lights to shine in patients' faces, drills, you name it.

Ever since, I've wondered whether the unfortunate exhibitor had read
somewhere that an ADA convention was coming to town.

Gee, can we use ADA to insist that all software development shops must
provide equal access for Ada?
