    Hi

    I had nothing to do all day so I created this Anytime Savings Calcuator Applet to show just how much money you are saving since flat rate came to be and to show how much less is going into eircoms pockets since they earned €100 million last year. It can be found at http://www.geocities.com/jonclearz

    Regards
    John.

    LOL I went and programmed the applet using java 1.4 when 95% of people using windows only supports java 1.1. Microsoft doesent support it any more because of their anti competive attiude (A bit like eircom) So that is why you cant see it.

    'Sfunny that, I could have sworn that the "competition" went to a judge and forced Microsoft to stop implementing Java.

    You seem to forget that if MS hadn't included Java in IE in the first place, it's reasonable to conclude that the vast majority of people in "userland" would ever have bothered downloading it (a JVM) in the first place. As we can see by the refusal or failure of the vast majority of users to bother downloading Suns current JVM.

    To be anal about it, they went to court over Microsoft's use of the "Java Compatible Program" on a JVM with MS-proprietory extensions that was not in fact totally "Java Compatible" and for breaching the licensing arrangement by bundling a non-compatible JVM with Windows. The anti-trust lawsuit (where Sun went to federal court and tried to get MS to continue to carry Java (when MS said they wouldn't)) came later.

    My post is an issue for another thread in another forum I'd say though.

    The rest of your post is bang on in my opinion.

    then again, I'm using Opera and IE with the latest JRE from Sun
