Imagine pulling up a Java-based mail tool(or anything else for that matter) and having a Look'n'Feel menu that gives you the following options: Win95, MacOS, Motif, Java, Metal, OpenStep, Rhapsody. *chuckle* A lot of Internet gambling companies and other misc. companies have been setting up shop in countries like Anguilla where they pay a fixed setup fee, then hardly anything in taxes. This also protects them from U.S. law. I wonder what the law in Anguilla would be? :-) In many cases like this, it's quite possible to be living in the U.S., but have a corporation or other entity setup in another country. Ahh the joys of legalese(something I am definietly not complete cogniscent of, but enjoy theorizing about). -- Adam W.
