Gene, >>>..listed at Sun's site. A quick browse seem's to indicate most are customized applications. An interesting list of companies that have already implemented Java. Look's like the Health Care industry likes Java.<<< I suppose this is a list of their most significant developments - but read carefully the language used in these descriptions: The company decided on a JavaTM computing solution from Sun. The new architecture will allow users to access a variety of centrally managed software applications. The JavaStationTM NCs will offer VT100 terminal emulation to access PHP Healthcare's vendor-supported practice management and electronic medical records application, Medical Manager, from an IBM RS/6000 running AIX. In addition, users will have access to office productivity suites from Applix and Lotus.<<< In one other description that I read there is a references to a large $300M project - but if you read PR release carefully - they are not very clear on how much of a role Java actually plays in this projects. It is entirely possible that they could be talking about only a few hundred lines of actual Java Code. That is why I want to hear from anyone with any real experience with Java. Not something from a PR press release. I don't believe this stuff is real. Mary
