RE: How/where is the action? Or is there any?

Java?  Believe me guys and ladies, I am not putting down java, but it seems
like java is not all the rage as it once was.  But perhaps I am out of touch
as well.  I have once java program that runs on my production system, and in
my opinion it is a very poor performer.  I do not know if this is indicative
of java or my box, but I am wondering how whole systems based on java
perform?   I am not totally an old geezer (I do mess with some net.data
stuff), but I never understood the hype behind java.  Kristen, are you
keeping busy with java projects?

Please do... It is the gaps between a few classes at Common, or web once a
week classes, or trying to learn late at night, never quite getting to the
point of knowing enough to create a usable project. jim
