now when i said crossplatform, i meant that the code would basically 
work with a few OS calls changed (and maybe some other minor syntax 
changes). Java is great and all, but I'm yet to see a single 
situation where it *works.*
Java applets usually require a different version depending on 
platform (thanks, microsoft) and java on the web loads slow and 
doesn't do anything that can't be done (faster) in one of the 
macromedia products. Basically, I'm biased against its use. It was 
good on paper last century, but when all has been said and done, it's 
a broken cart.
