Well I haven't dealt with storage pools yet, I'm trying to get my first 
real Ada program going here to learn the basics better, so I stay away 
from all OO features and anything more complex. Amazingly the tasking 
system is really easy to use compared to creating threads and handling 
them in C, so that's  positive. I will have a deeper look at the storage 
pool section in Barne's book to see what I missed there
