Erk what a wonderful job this beuatiful piece of netscape software did
of formating the quote :) ANyway, I dare say that anyone interested in
computers and languages has already taken a reasonably thorough look at
Java. It doesnt take a long glance to know that we have already learnt
from Java's mistakes and its surprising that they havent by now, but
what sells to the morponic public sells.
