Let's Have Fun -- Now! JAVA

Dave,

Isn't it ironic that while Java apps run across different platforms here on the Mac we have at least 3 different Java Virtual Machines (Sun, Metrowerks, Natural Inteligence) which yield different UI's from the same compiled code. One would think that both Sun and Apple would gain from one JVM/platform.

anyway...I do know of a comercial Java app. WallStreetWeb by BulletProof, Inc. (www.bulletproof.com). It's kind of cool (but I'd use a non-Mac platform to view it due to the JVM mess), but prety basic as far as apps go.

PS. thanks so much for DaveNet! From Jerry's death to Apple vs. the world...it's a constant source of inspiration plus it keeps me smiling.

PPS. close your eyes and imagine...a DaveNet channel for PCN
