   Object Oriented DESIGN is one thing;  want to know how I can tell this
writer has never actually DONE anything serious with Ada?  Simple... you'd
die of old age WAITING for anything serious to get as far as a core dump in
Ada.   Smalltalk?  I guess I'll get interested in Smalltalk when somebody
writes an OS comparable to UNIX in performance, portability, and functionality
in Smalltalk and provides me with a version of Smalltalk with the low-end
power of C.
