That is good news for us Mac drivers but until it's done my statement stands Java is platform specific. The Mac port will just be a layer sitting on top of my Mac OS. Since this applies to intranets only it doesn't do us much good who are on the INTERNET and that's what all the DOJ complaining is about. Bill isn't trying to stop Java he is trying to embrace it or capture it. Java is not going to replace an OS Java is not going to tell the CPU Pentium/G3 to look at the keyboard interupt for the disk, check the serial port etc. You guys just don't understand how things work. Since I am a home user theORCL thing albeit still vaporware does nothing for me unless I am in a LAN environment talking to a server that has ORCL DBM running on it. Again this is not what the DOJ complaint is about anyway. They are worried about the WAN the internet. Have a nice day:>)
