Thank you for the clarification. For some reason, I had thought
that IBM also had Java for the x86 platforms (Winderz in particular).
I guess I need to spend brain cells on Java, which I would rather
drink than write -- given some of the Java I've had to unwind...
Past life at the HAL 9000 factory.

Yes. But IBM's Java in on the IBM side of the world. The non-support of
Java for browser plugins is on the desktop side of the world where the
browser code lives. So the browser on the desktop is where the Java
support for plugins needs to exist. And Oracle says that it's going away.
M$ wins in that they tried to "unsupport" Java in Internet Explorer many
years ago.
Or am I missing something here?
