My eyes were immediately drawn to the watch face on the Tri-Ada
brochure that arrived last week.  I could not miss it, since
the face on the brochure IS the face on my Seiko watch.  The
question in my mind is what connection does this have with Ada {;-)

1.  Seiko means precise, Ada is precise.
2.  The particular watch face is on a watch that Seiko no longer
    makes.  Is that a reference to the death of the Ada mandate?

Actually, the watch face on the brochure is a very poor rendition
of the actual watch, so see me at Tri-Ada to see how good this
15+ year old watch really looks.  I can't quite date when my wife
bought me the watch, but I think it was in 1983, a significant Ada
date.
