     I haven't used any Java myself, but the promise is terrific.  
     I really think that applets will fundamentally change the way 
     we deliver information systems.  I really think it will be a 
     gigantic... and very rapid... paradigm shift.  And most IT 
     departments, including HP's, are clueless.  If you've done 
     any applets, I'd love to see and play with them.
