Yes, that's where I was looking. They gave off the impression of being
sort of the "Home Depot" of electronics stores. Maybe their selection is
not the best, but they seemed to be sort of "Computer Stuff For The
Masses". The books may not have beem the "serious" computer literature
you have in mind, but they did have lots of shelves of stuff aimed at
helping folks at a variety of levels to learn different languages/tools.

My only point was that for Ada to improve its market position, it needs
to be presented to "The Masses" in a way that makes it easy to adopt and
use. That's why I think a whole shrink-wrapped kit for the PC/Windows
environment would be a good idea.
