It’s interesting that a number of years ago, Java was considered a “throwaway language”.

Sun Micro virtually gave it away.

They gave away browsers for free.

But Milton Friedman said "There is no free lunch."

So we all found out that our browsers were chock full of holes that worms and viruses and hackers could get through. So we ended up spending hundreds of dollars on anti-virus software and firewalls.

They gave JAVA away for free.

And now we find out it is chock full of holes and code is being written by kids with less than a year's worth of experience and we have even more bugs and worms and viruses and hackers to worry about.

Be careful what you ask for. You might just get it.
