I was replying to your statement:

"There's also the lack of Ada for microcontroller platforms other than
ARM (ACT supplied) and AVR (ACT/third party supplied). Just think of
all the stuff Farnell sells which doesn't have Ada compiler target
support, but does have C compiler target support."

No mention of cost. No mention of persuading people to try Ada. The AdaMagic 
compiler is, therefore, an existence proof of that which you claimed did not exist.

If you expressed yourself badly, don't blame me for responding to what you did say.
