NT on a p133? *shudder*

That would be a slow system.

Well at least they arent forcing IE upon us. Although for 
secure java i shudder to think of IE. Anyone who has delved into 
java applets will (hompefully) know what i mean.

on ie 4?

I think a cgi-bin solution ?? So it doesnt matter as long as you can
send posts
and read html. SSL would be a must also.

They are realistic figures if you want to get picky, but java is not the
best solution
for something like this. What about the jones across the road who can
barely afford a
cracker, whom i just gave a p133 so they could do word processing and
basic we stuff 
through a freenet or uni account? Arent we supposed to aim for the
lowest common denominator?
(MSCE consultants sheesh *grin* kidding)
