Adam and I have a provisional theory that Java, in its current releases ad
security policy, has never, and cannot be used as more than animation.

This is essentially in concurrence with the Generally Accepted But Incorrect
view of the web as multimedia 3270s -- all the logic's at the server and the
client is merely a presentation device.

Of course, there's no symmetric loadable java on the server end, either.
