I do!
     
For the only personal computer with multitasking, I want a language
that knows about tasks.  I want separate compilation without having
to write a makefile that tells the compiler what depends on what.
I want Generics.  I want Packages.  I want Exceptions.  I want
Entry and Accept.
     
The NYU Ada/Ed compiler is available for the IBM PC/XT, for only
$95.  Its written in C, no less.  ( All the C wizards on the net
say, "so there!") So, Ada on the Amiga is an achievable desire.
