- Sorry, folks, software isn't here solely for your mental gymnastics
- and personal fulfillment. I know it sometimes seems that way at
- school...

- If you want reasons why Ada helps you build reliable, large, nay,
- _huge_ software systems, then crack open Booch's Software Engineering
- with Ada, or Shumate's Developing Large Real-Time Systems in Ada.

- p.s. Does painting on oil and canvas limit an artist's expressive power,
- or does it provide focus for their expression? Michaelangelo's
- Sistine Chapel and Chagall's ceiling of the Paris Opera show what
- genius can do when constrained by his medium (i.e. painting on a
- ceiling). Various works by uncsonstrained contemporary artists
- show what kind of horrid stuff can result when you impose no
- limitations at all.
