May be worth searching on Google groups for the answer(s) to that one
:-)

However - the short answer is that I was fed up working on defence and
aerospace projects that took years to complete and wanted to work on
more commercial short duration projects without having to relocate.
Unfortunately there aren't any companies I know of close to home who
do that kind of thing using Ada, so I had to compromise and find
someone who'd give me a job using C++. 

How's that?
