I don't know about others, but *this* Linux head doesn't trust Sun very much. They cannot seem to make up their mind as to whether they want to support open standards, or if they are just trying to be the Microsoft of Unix. I've lost track -- is Java going to be an open standard this month, or is that next month, and it's Sun's property this month? As for Java, EJB, J2EE, etc., themselves: I see them as tools -- nothing more, and nothing less. I think they have some neat features, and are worth using, but I certainly don't think they are the solution to all the world's programming problems. As Fred Brooks so succinctly put it, there is no silver bullet. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
