Earlier in this thread I made a post that implicitly
linked the Denver airport "fiasco" with Ada.  Since
that time I have been alerted that I was the victim
of an urban legend.  The Denver baggage system soft-
ware was not developed in Ada, and in no way reflects
on the capabilities of the language Ada nor its pro-
grammers.  I apologize for any confusion or damage
this error may have caused.

BTW, someone from this newsgroup informed me that the
system in question was actually developed in C++,
but I have not verified my source, and refuse to make
the same mistake twice. ;-)
