This was a hilarious post.

If you're annoyed at Word taking more than a minute to load, wait until 
you have to log on, hope your host is up and not busy, and wait for your 
miracle word processor to download, and then make sure you typed your 
document with no mistakes as you can't save it.

Did I just wake up and computer revolution never occurred?  Everybody is 
all hot and bothered over a "revolutionary language" that now can do little 
more than play tic tac toe.  What's the next advance?  Pong?

Hmmm. Maybe you're right and "everybody" else is wrong. Maybe all Java
will do is play tic tac toe. Yes, you're right. There's absolutely no
potential for Java. Let's all just jump off the bandwagon, because you
have decided that everyone else is all hot and bothered about nothing
significant at all.

Last time I checked, software development was STILL a time-consuming process.

Just wait for Borland Java and Microsoft Visual Java (?!).  And then, with better
caching methods over the net, and cable modems, bigger and/or better programs
should follow.

Yes, you just woke up, but you called the day a failure before breakfast.
