I didn't hear anyone complain when they chose to do business in english only. We were happy to buy into the idea that "warp speaks english" but why the problem with "warp speaks java"? The internet is a subset. For whatever combination of economic reasons [1,2] warp has chosen to become a sub subset. :-) Wanna go to Armenia? - Learn Armenian. Wanna go to Warp? - Upgrade your browser. 1. Time and maintenance savings of choosing one browser standard 2. Many people don't have browsers which conform to the latest JDK but projections suggest in a couple of months many/most will. But maybe I'm just saying this because Netscape FINALLY released a decent version of the Communicator/Navigator for Linux. :-) Q. -- qforce@holon.net http://www.holon.net/qforce/
