Well, Silicon Graphics will be at the show... and if we can work
the logistics of being in Seattle at Tri-Ada one week and D.C. the
next week, we'll have Ada in the booth, and on the juried demos
as well.

While we're probably not what you refer to as an Ada vendor, I 
thought I'd add my bit as well.

Feel free to stop by and see us, no matter what your language choice.
