[Don't have time right now for this, as much as I'd like to, so I'll
be brief]

Java has an interpreted language built in, so you can download scripts
that actually _interact_ with the user locally.  I don't think you
played with Java very much or read the white paper if you saw no
obvious advantages.. :-)

Go read all the stuff they have on http://hotjava.sun.com and then
we'll revive this discussion!  :)
