Well, it took Lexical's team four years to complete the entire systems
and during the process, they had given all their best into every single
LOC squeezed out of their brain cells. Separate testing and debugging

in the first month compare to 75 hours for v2 is not too far apart.

contact those contact persons listed at the end of the document. I am
sure they will give every best they have to answer your questions.

these people are trying to give their best in helping to promote Ada in
Malaysia. Why put down their spirit???
