All the Boeing management need to do is read the JAVA and C# literature =
on
why these languages were created. Choosing an inferior technology is =
bad;
choosing and inferior, obsolete technology is worse.=20

I might note that there are enough potential expert witnesses in this =
group
to cause Boeing grave financial damage in the event management is =
negligent
in the choice of programming language and this negligence leads to =
deaths or
injuries.
