Everyone is doing Java

[Pete Massiello <pmassiello@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This was in the Newswire/400 today (see below).  It is perhaps the best example
of the number of people using Java.  Java right now is like the old joke on
Teenage Sex (Everyone says they are doing it, but very few actually are, those
that are are doing it are doing it incorrectly, and no one is doing it
well....you get the idea, I don't have the joke exact, but the idea is there).
Jon's  Java quote is the best and probably only true thing about Java that I 
have
heard all year long.  All I hear from IBM is Java, Java, Java.  I think it is a
great Language, based upon a great concept of hardware independence, but not
everyone is doing it.

OUT OF CONTECT: MISALLOCATION OF RESOURCES?
"Rochester is spending 95 percent of its resources to please the 5
percent of its customers who use Java. And it's spending the other 5
percent of its resources to please 95 percent of its customers,
because 95 percent of its customers depend on RPG."
-- Jon Paris, RPG guru, HAL North America
