I find the Sun release of Java to be slow, and bogs down even a 2Ghz machine. Run two identical computers side by side and have one use the Sun release and the other use the MS release, and the MS release wins hands down. So far I am not losing out on anything. I have Java installed, and I don't have any concerns. Lawyers can file all the papers they want, I am still going to use the free software I want to use.. _no one_ can tell me differently. Peter
