re: >JAVA based apps. are in the infancy stage. I wrote a JAVA applett just last week and it took forever to load using JDK 1.1 appletviewer. Imagine the performance over the internet.< That's exactly the point, VK! ... Did you try to run it on a Windoze PC? Try OS/2 (PS Java is built into OS/2 V4) ... or try Intel/Novell Java on Netware (you might have to wait a few months) ... you'll find that it works better & runs faster ... even the 'slow' performance you saw will soon perform reasonably well over the Internet ... the bottleneck is the Network ... and Windoze PCs that can't keep up with the other options ... when/if Intel commits to support it's JVM components with hardware or firmware things will change even more and become even more interesting than now!
