I'd love to, except that 80% of my customer base uses either Windows 3.1
or the AOL browser, and has no access to Java. The AOL people are the
ones that are *really* hosed. I do a lot through CGI that there are
dozens of better ways to do, just to keep the AOL people alive.
Pain in the *ss, that's what it is.
