Yeah, I snipped all the other about C/C++/Ada, Ada
limitations, Java vs Freeze_Dried, etc. The suggestion
above is what is REALLY important in any discussion
of real time embedded old crap that MOST of us have to
support. At least around here anyway.

That, David, is an excellent suggestion. There was a list
floating around a couple of months ago that outlined some
really good ones for the slogan du jour. Try to get yours
on it! A good laugh here that was. LM probably laughed too.
