Scumbria,

Sorry if I sounded harsh, but I was having a bad "hour" ;-)..

re: Microsoft and garbage collection.

Yes, Visual Basic 2.0+ have used garbage collection (if memory serves)..

The point I'm trying to make is you don't need MP to run Java.. I'm not saying you will never need faster processors, I'm just saying Java isn't a compelling reason to go MP.. there are much better reasons IMHO.

Steve

Cyrix/NSM Rule!
