The really desparate picture is going to be for survival of former Ada gurus,
sw engineers etc. after the bubble bursts.  Slick Willy WILL figure Ada out
before much longer...  they don't CALL him Slick for nothing.

Why is it that intelligent post seems to peter out as soon as the name
calling starts. It brings up a picture of a whining two bit college punk
who is still eating sour grapes after the election looking for someone to
listen to them gripe of how the President is responsible for everything
that goes wrong, will go wrong, or could possibly go wrong. Geez, grow up
and quit bitchin'.

Au contrair (sp?) Greg.  Ada will survive "of the Mandate, for the Mandate,
and by the Mandate."  People inside the Mandated World care because it is
their job (which wouldn't exist without the Mandate) to care.  Look at
Straussman; he was so sure of the survival of Ada that he left his job
before his job left him.

Ada will survive because it is part of the Declaration of Ada-pendence.  ;-(
