hmmm-Max, I seem to remember reading that 74% or so PC users have NOT upgraded to WIN95 (like me!) and cannot use Java browsers. I know that progress cannot be stopped, but there is more to getting Java-capable than just overcoming lethargy-it can be expensive-sometimes requiring new computers etc.(We heard from those recently who do not yet have modems faster than 14400!).
As much as I like better ways to do this, I would really whine if there was a chat room running which I am a couple of years away from being able to enter.Technological progress is like folk music in some ways; if it changes TOO fast, the very process distracts from the purpose. I really admire your goals and inititative, but do consider what the practical result will be before instituting too many changes and additions.
