My apologies Dear Bond -- my intention of this request was not to start a flame war over email regarding languages -- rather simply request a session whereby someone would take the time to explain Java as it relates to "enterprisey" things that the powers that be gloat about. What I meant by that was simply there is a concept of JavaEE, and I had even included some possible areas of topic -- which includes where my inference regarding a Java "application server" came from. If anything, it should come across as skepticism of the coolaid of enterprisey developers, and a desire to understand a little trinket of what these platforms offer, (sarcasm) not as someone to help me write my guest book on Geocities in Java, because I heard Javascript was too simple, and PHP is just a Perl knock off (/sarcasm). The specifics of my previous email, and their intentions would probably come across might lighter and in the correct context over a beer after the meeting. I am looking forward to Josh sharing his insight -- I believe he understood my original intent a bit more :). Stan
