Are you sure that doesn't predate 1997? Were people still talking about Logo and PL/1 back then? Bonus points for APL mentions. I loved this: "LISP - She is an aging beatnik, who lives in a rural commune with her hippie cousins SMALLTALK and FORTH. " Perfect. Of course mailing something like that around now would be worth your job. -XC

The DoD mandate for Ada ended in early 1997, and an entry that it was going to was in the comp.lang.ada FAQ in mid 1996, so assuming the "You gotta love her though, because the
