Mike Feldman says yes! yes! yes! to the suggestion of Tucker talking about
Intermetrics marketing efforts for C.

I guess this is another instance of desparately wanting there to be a simple
formula hiding around the corner, and if only we knew the secret formula (i.e.
the one that Tuck will reveal in this amazing keynote address), then all will
be well, since we can just adopt that marketing approach and Ada will seel
like hotcakes.

All this reminds me why I mistrust companies whose marketing strategies are'
run by technical people!

Of course it's too bad that Mike isn't right in his fantasy, it would be
so nice!

(Gee, I guess the only reason IBM failed with PL/1 was that they didn't ask
Intermetrics how to market it :-)
