A side by side comparison of Java versus a Times Sinclair Emulator.
You be the judge.


			JAVA		TIMEX SINCLAIR EMULATOR
---------------------------------------------------------------
Cross Platform App Tool	Yes(pc,unix,mac)Yes (pc,mac,unix,atari,c64,ts1000)
Proven Market		No		Yes (best selling computer)
Reliable Kernel		No (very new)	Yes (over 15 years of testing)
Supports Graphics	Yes		Yes (plot, unplot)
Supports Sound		Yes		Yes (through tape output)
Allows fast typing	No		Yes (keyboard optional)
Printer integration	No (use browser)Yes (print command)
Fast			No		Yes
Language Everyone Knows	No		Yes (Basic!)
Number of Aplications   ??20??		Thousands!
Communications Layer	Yes		Yes ("load","save")
Language Security	Unproven	Yes (no virus ever written)
Small Kernel		Sort of (300k)	Yes! (8K)
Provides all OS functions  NO!		Yes!


Hands down, the Timex Sinclair Emulator wins over Java.  Which tool
would you rather have in your dishwasher, computer, interactive tv,
computer, phone, etc.?  Answer: the one that is the *complete*
operating system, that has a proven history, that has thousands of
applications, that fits in under 8K, that is written in a language you
don't have to train your engineers, and was the operating system of
choice for the number one selling computer in all of history.  Timex
Sinclair.
