But as one of the troughers, stick to >>troughing. As someone involved in getting Ada introduced to a course, I can assure you that the availability of Gnat Ada has helped a lot. The students also appreciate its availability and pricing :-). An Australian as well as U.S. student would enjoy the *pricing*. This is because this price is not the cost. U.S. taxpayers are footing most of the bill. The rest is deferred to future U.S, taxpayers. I can't really blame you for missing Greg's point. I too was happy to get government help to put me through college. But now that I work for a not-dependent-on-gov't-money profitable business and have children of my own I find I have clearer thinking. upper class => future oriented P.S.
