Java vs Windows Cheryll, Sounds like you know your stuff. So, I can sit at home with my odd-ball computer and crank out Java stuff of my own for just about any client out there with little regard to his platform. Boy, I just hate it when clients panic and get herded into standardizing on some hyped-up software or hardware of the hour, because it never seems to be what I standardized myself on by the time I get on the scene. I see how learning Java could make a temp like me a lot more portable in the job market. The heck with clients past mistakes. I would be compatible. Imagine an army of compatible temps out there. Our productivity would be a force to behold. Only thing is, does Java do what I do? I analyise data from data bases, I write and distribute procedures, and I create technical and user manuals with illustrations. If I ever get to be in management, I guess I'll just put out great e-Mail and go to meetings, my computer career being at an end. Thanks for your reply. Hal PS: Regarding your comment about Bill Gates being full of S***, what ever that is, I am sure you meant it in the nicest possible way. HR
