Good explanation from Richard, though it may be an overkill for newbies. 
  Java & Javascript are totally different. Java is fully featured, it 
can be used to make programs like MS Office. Javascript normally used to 
enhance webpages and "live" in internet browsers (Internet Explorer, 
Netscape etc).

Now, this "discussion" started from making a java chatroom. Can Simon 
(who started this thread) explain a bit more about the chatroom 
specification? (like why it has to be in java etc).

Cheers,
