Well for one thing, Keith, it might be a little too expensive! I can just
imagine my budget for a hobby project:
Engine & 4 Coaches ... ... ... ... ... ... $ 100.00
Track with Bridge . ... ... ... ... ... ... $ 100.00
Power Unit ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... $ 30.00
Actuator .. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... $ 20.00
Sensors x 6 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... $ 60.00
SBC Fully Pop . ... ... ... ... ... ... ... $ 200.00
Assorted Components ... ... ... ... ... ... $ 50.00
Ada Compiler .. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... $ 20,000.00
But otherwise I concede your point: there's no fundamental reason why many
Ada compilers could not be used for either purpose.
