I was only teasing about it actually being X technology, although one could sure do a lot worse for a mature, sophisticated, highly transportable, highly configurable, highly controllable, graphics display environment. And, I don't know what you mean by it being too big since the server end (i.e., the workstation), is mostly silicon. Still, obviously they are going to do anything like this in Java. I just have to giggle from time to time when someone announces the latest and greatest and all it really turns out to be is a new form of something we have had all along -- like a friend I have who has fun pointing out the similarities between web applications and the 3270 environment!
