Victor, It hardly has any impact on Apple. Java is a language (I prefer Microsoft's treating it as a language) used on the Internet application. It's similar to CGI, Perl, HTML, etc. The difference between Java and c/c++ is Java simplifies C++. Java has no pointer, struct, but has multi-thread capability. Java is good for NC, where little maintenance is required. Java's weak point is its speed since they don't have serious compiler to make it become an efficient load module. The reason for Java to be compatible with any OS is because they create a virtual machine in which all codes are translated into the OS you use. Nothing is going to impact the balance between two groups, IBM/Sun and Microsoft/Apple/HP. Phil
