Hi Dave, Interesting times we live in!

So the one big question I have on this momentous change at Apple is; will the new platform migrate Objective C out and Java in?

I see a dependence on Objective C a potential fatal flaw unless there is work under way to replace Objective C with Java. (I was a very early user of Objective C before Next used it and have been to NextStep boot camp).

It _should_ be relatively easy to first create Java wrappers and then Java replacements for all the Objective C elements and Next may have already started on that path....
