Here are some ideas about Java

Note that this is not very comprehensive. I just started on this
subject. Good luck figuring out this subject. I think that it is pretty
important and where things are going with the internet.

The Vision

George shared this with me: java is completely platform independent. It
runs on any computer with a java compiler. The browser downloads the
source code, and that is compiled on the local machine, and the
application (or applet--little application is
thus appropriate for that machine.
