Daniel, I'm not sure that you realize what Columbo perpetrated on the RMIL board so let me fill you in. First of all someone somewhere must have agitated him about something, god only knows what it was. With his knowedge of Front Page he went into the companys web site and found a database of 22 shareholders names and addresses. He then went and posted the link to this site along with some derogatory statements about those shareholders being a bunch of SAPS. I complained to the company about this and had them password protect the whole web site. Then the next day Columbo goes back to get into the web site again. He couldn't get into it and got mad. So what did he do in his infinite wisdom? He posted all of the names and addresses of these people from the private list he had stolen and again made derogatory statements toward them. In addition to this on a several occasions he not only made personal attacks on some of the shareholders but also proceeded to slander the company. This COLUMBO is one deranged individual and doesn't deserve the right to post on SI ever again. Several of us can and will pursue legal action against him if we recieve any harassement from his actions. Just thought you should know this before you spread a plea around the SI boards to help bring him back. Sincerely, Mike

I don't know what impact the building of Activator has but I think it speaks volumns about ActiveX/COM and using this technology to build extensible apps. I believe Sun sells ActiveX with this because it shows that some of the design decisions by Microsoft in making Internet Explorer a group of COM objects wired together gives the end user and developers some great functionality. Sure some security concernes but for corporate networks/intranets ActiveX/COM makes sense. I think this is awsome just consider you want the latest Java but like the current browser you are using with Internet Explorer you can just upgrade the VM control but you cannot do this with Navigator/Communicator. I like it! Larry...
