      I am sure I have a DVD at home starring LInda and Ava? Or was that just a dream?

          I think of Lovelace Watkins. Is that wrong?

            In the dim and distant past, I've programmed in both Babbage and ADA.

            And Coral. Was that his mistress?

            Edit: Am I thinking of the right Ada here?

              I read that as The Waltons. Which definitely is wrong.

                Ada (not ADA) the programming language was indeed named after Ada Lovelace. I've used it too.
