Joe:

No conspiracy here, but where we are today is the "logical" endpoint
from where Applets started in pre 1.0 Java.  The only big event that
"broke" applets was the inability (or lack of desire) for the browser
manufacturers to keep up.  Sun did nothing to steer this back on course,
so we are where we are today.

Thank goodness that Applets are such a tiny part of Java!

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
