>> > I don't think mission-critical apps should be implemented as applets! I am new to Java but have just seen Tivoli's newest software that is written 90% in Java using applets. Tivoli's pricing starts around 30k and can run into the 7 figures. They have a major presence in Forutne 500 companies. This would may quailify Tivoli as mission critical. ;-) I was suprised to see an app such as this done in Java. I really did not think Java was ready for prime-time until I saw this. Just my 2-cents!
