I couldn't agree more on the topic or the speaker, but why wait until
'94? Dave already gave this talk at WADAS '93, and this talk would be better
off if given at a conference with more general appeal.

I know that Ada Paintball is being demoed at OOPSLA. What we need for
Tri-Ada '94, or, better yet, OOPSLA, Object Expo, etc., etc., is more
proof positive along the same lines as what SGI has already done.
