<<Why is it only around Ada language folks that I keep hearing about this
DOS thing?
who cares about DOS? DOS is dead, lets get on with it, dealing with
anything to do with DOS is a waste of time. does anybody actually develop
for DOS nowadays? if someone does not have $100 to buy a modern OS to work
on, then they don't need the software anyways, and they don't need Ada either.

Listen more carefully, you don't hear the "Ada language folks" talking
about the importance of DOS, you hear a very small (but quite insistent)
minority. It is clear to me that the majority of the Ada community
agrees with your (perfectly reasonable) observation above!
