Sue...
Java, java,
Java, java, jing, jing, jing.

Wait!
What is java and do I need it on my computer? I seem to have 6 different
versions.

using and also download newest version. i sometimes find old versions
aren't removed when new versions are installed, but only the new one is
being used. older versions of Windows used a product called "Virtual
Machine", but microsoft dropped it after a license dispute with Sun
Computing. you can also go to your Control Panel in windows, where there
will be a Java entry if a version is installed. current version is 1.5.0_
06.

Hmmm. "Virtual Machine", abbreviated VM, wasn't that a concept that IBM
came up with on their bigger main frames in the early 1970's?

david...
the beauty of tekkie terms is that when one vendor stops using it, other
vendors can reinvent the term again... :-))
