Subject: Business Weeks tells corporate America Ada is obscure
Message-ID: <SRCTRAN.93Apr16143206@world.std.com>
List-Id: <comp.lang.ada>

The April 26 issue of Business Week has a two page article titled
"Flying in Place: The FAA's Air-Control Fiasco", detailing how IBM and
FAA have screwed up to the tune of billions of dollars.  In the middle
of the article is the follownig sentence:

		"And the programs had to be written in the"
		obscure Ada computer programming language
		that the Defense Department demands for
		mission critical software.

Obscure?  Demands?  Really great PR for people thinking about choosing a
new computer programming language.

AJPO/ADAIC/Ada9X/SIGADA.  Is anyone home?
