Wasn't JAVA brought to us by the same folks who said that:

1. Smalltalk was "the" language
2. C++ was "the" language
3. Synon would "rule" the world
4. Object Oriented Programming (OO)
5. SQL would be "the" way to fly on the 400
6. Thin Clients would impact PC sales right away...
7. Bill Gates ain't going to make more money..
8. We need to throw away our RPG programs and replace them with somthing
   more modern...

Some of you old guys(anybody over 30) may jump in here and
add some more to the list.....
