Ramsey, Re: Next killer app... As an over the hill software developer I've recently started learning JAVA. It is a very comprehensive, well designed software development language and execution environment. Conceptually it offers elegant solutions to some of the most pressing problems facing corporate IS managers. In particular it greatly simplifies and standardizes the distribution and collection of vital information to and from disparate sources. The main problem is that it is a cycle hog of epic proportions and is happiest when surrounded by megabytes of free RAM. It has reached critical mass among the developer community. Although it's to early to say for sure, it seems ever more likely that the solutions it offers will propel it across the chasm from "interesting idea" to "we've got to have this" among the corporate IT manager croud. If/when that happens, the next wave of corporate upgrades will be a given. I toss this out in part to solicit other views from those with more experience (JAVA, IS, IT) than I. Opposing views welcome. Que le vaya bien... Steve
