I would kill for an affordable (for students) Ada 9X compiler that allows
full access to the Mac toolbox. I add to your question above:
What is the best way of making our desires known?

P.S.  I used Ada 9X in the sentence above because I think it is better
suited to Mac programming than Ada83.  I just finished reading the
Intro to Ada 9X document by Barnes, and boy, am I excited.  I can't wait
to get my hands on ANY Ada 9X compiler so I can start using that
language!
