I think you are being too specific Alistair.    I think Bob meant that if
you knew C, It's syntax, look and feel,    You would be comfortable with
Java Script, Java and all the rest.

I understand what Mandy and Joe are saying when they talk about the
"Universal" server running all OS's,    However I wouldn't discount Bob's
predictions out of hand,  as dire as they seem.

Believe me that IBM is capable of dumber things.   Linux and MS is the
corporate strategy.   The other OS's are to some in IBM a troublesome
historical baggage that they would like to "Sunset".

Possibly none of Bob's predictions may come true,   However we are talking
about the company that brought us OS/2 and then dropped it like an old toy
without a fight even while it was much superior to anything on the market.
