When the Ada compiler publishers still had some money, before
the abrogation of the mandate, I suggested they pool their resources
and create an Ad for Forbes, Business Week, or some othe major
publications with a full-page picture of a Boeing 777, and caption
the Ad,  "Ada Airlines."    Instead, they wasted a lot of money on a
bunch of really stupid Ads that no one took seriously.

We could do something like that now.  A picture of a 777 with the
caption, "Ada inside," might catch some attention.   A picture of
a Hellfire missile with a similar caption might work too, but it
would annoy a few people in this controversial atmosphere of
impending war.
