IMHO, the fact that Pivot can talk to other Java libraries goes without saying -- it's Java talking to Java. And showing that Pivot apps can communicate over the net also goes without saying -- you're in Java, so you can use all those libraries. I personally prefer to keep our demos showing what *Pivot* can do -- and leave it up to users to realize that it can also implicitly do anything that Java can do :)
