G'Day Christopher,

It may be "kooler" but you have many compatability issue with Java that you
don't have with pre-processed perl. You have to look at what your objective is.
That is to sell you clients products. Not to have the coolest site on the web.
Having 2 out of every 10 not be able to see the site looses MANY sales.
Especially since MicroSnot has treatened to remove ALL Java/JavaScript support
from their browsers duo to the fact they don't wish to conform to Sun's
licensisng (Sp?) agreements. They are tied of being faught about the fact that
they are butchering Java by releasing that piece of CRAP they call J/JScript,
which is NOT 100% Java compatable. So if IE looses it's Java support, that
leaves MANY MANY people from seeing the site.

I know from mailing you off the list you are one of the more intelligent people
here, so I knew you knew all this already. It was more for the lists benifit.

Hope things are going well for you! Oh hey and if you have sometime please
e-mail me off the list, I have some Interchange Products you might like to play
with/test.

John
