(From the amount of postings you churn out, this shouldn't be a problem cost-wise.) Then, you can sit back and relax, knowing that 1) You've done the Ada world a big favor by advertising the language; 2) You're following your own teachings, and spending some of your own money instead of the "millions of dollars from the DoD"; and 3) You've done the majority of other readers of comp.lang.ada a huge favor. - Vladimir
