Recapping: IBM has elected to pursue Ada, surprising some folks(?) :-)

C'mon folks... doesn't anybody KNOW about IBM?
This had to be a MARKET DRIVEN decision, since
IBM (by their own assertion) IS MARKET DRIVEN!
The attractiveness of the smiling Countess ;-)
(dear Ada) can be only a secondary persuasion.

There's going to be a *BOOM* in Ada-based BUSINESS (i.e. $$) and
IBM's obvious intention is to be right where the action is!! 8-)

DISCLAIMER: I'm opinionated, who isn't?
