Beavis, and you make me laugh. Sorry! -GG- Maybe you should educate yourself on Java. Perhaps you would realize that Java is not the silver bullet you think it is. It's a computer language, not a magic wand. Java has been out for quite awhile, and MSFT has committed resources to Java, and improved it. In case you didn't know, the MSFT Java was voted "most compatible" (with other versions of Java) recently in a review in a computing magazine. Mr. B, "you guys" have a chance. Corel has developed Java Suite. More than Netscape has done. For pete's sake man, there's a whole other world outside of the ubiquitous browsing. Netscape has to do a whole lot more than develop a good browser if they hope to become a worthy competitor to Microsoft. Of course, as Java's popularity grows (if it grows), MSFT will be right in there, developing apps for it. Beavis....don't spend the next several years in agony over MSFT's software dominance. Life's too short. Wish luck to the competition represented by Corel, IBM, HP, Sun probably, those are the players that have any sense left. Netscape simply doesn't have the real world business experience to develop serious business applications, much less any serious application such as a word processor or functional spreadsheet. They're babes in the woods.
