It would have been better if she'd have said something like "parts >of projects like AdaOS or seti@home have been written in it", but that was two >years ago. Maybe this is just me. Well...in fairness to her, the SETI@Home Service wasn't around two years ago. Also, I should point out (because it isn't clear from the above) that the SETI@Home Service is just an add-on for the official SETI@Home project's windows text client. As far as I know, there is no Ada being used on the actual SETI@Home project. Still, its awfully nice to think that the project could be used as an explicit evangelism tool. Its going to be awfully tough to wipe the smile off my face the rest of the day... :-) --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
