   -- A prime example is Unix; the current POSIX effort aims to 
   -- standardize 1960's technology, thus resulting in a "lowest
   -- common denominator" which locks users into obsolescence.
   -- 
   -- Ada's problem with Unix is that Unix, being 1960's technology,
   -- does not properly support lightweight processes.  

What an odd thought ... a 1960s operating system underneath a 1970s
programming language used on 1980s contracts for systems to be
fielded in the 1990s and beyond!  Think about it ...
