So? Thats an excuse I would expect from a Bill Gates, not you.

I'm not the one who stated Java was less buggy, Lucent did. Now let them
explain it is less buggy than C and that is why they are shifting to it.
Not to mention, they never asked US what type administrative apps we
wanted.

Alpha PC164 - 500 MHz, 256 MB RAM running Linux. Nothing else running...
Also tried on Windows NT Workstation Pentium 233 MMX with 64 MB RAM.
Nothing else running...
I guess I need MORE horsepower than that?
I do agree however that speed is subjective, when comparing a C program
to Java, it is slower -> REALLY! Even Sun admits that, then tries to
pooh-pooh it by saying new JIT techology "may" make the Java app faster.
