You know, for every Kurt, there have to be several hundred people (OpenBSD users or otherwise) who say "if I wanted to deal with Sun every day, I'd run Solaris instead" and frankly, I don't blame them. Every attempt to use Java here has caused more problems than it has solved; it's simply a resource pig. I'm sure it runs great on the fully loaded sparc64 boxen that Sun salesweasels are pimping for $UNGODLY_AMOUNT_OF_CASH; sorry, but I don't have that kind of money. I can't wait until Kaffe is usable as a JVM, as I suspect it won't have the same problems that Sun has put into its "reference" Java implementation. Until then, I've decided simply to avoid using Java applications as much as possible. -- Shawn K. Quinn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
