Note that I didn't say when I first started using java but rather when it was being developed which is something like 8+ years ago. And the company I worked for was not an internet startup. It had been around since the early 80's and perhaps before. Their billion dollar status was achieved before the internet boom. And as I said their core technology was selling a complete turnkey solution to replace all of the major software infrastructure of large corporations. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff EJB-INTEREST".
